Welcome to Year 5!

Mr James, Mrs Ablett & Mrs Newton!

Welcome to year 5! I hope you find our class page useful and enjoy discovering all the new things we have learnt.

Autumn 1

Our text this half term is 'The Warrior Troll' by Rachel Lindsey, an adventure story set in Norway, featuring trolls and the Vikings. Please refer to our learning journey to see what we will be up too!

Homework

Our homework system works on alternate weeks, on specific weeks the children will complete Mathletics tasks, set by myself, relating to the Maths we have worked on in class. On the other weeks, the children will be able to choose an activity from the 8 we have provided, to complete! These relate to our work in class, it could be creating an eBook, presentation, poem, or carrying out a Science investigation!

Reading

- Reading at home should be done as frequently as possible. Children should bring their reading book and reading record to school every day and take them home each night. 

-Bug Club is an exciting online reading resource with interesting books and reading activities. Your child knows their password and how to use the different resources on there.

Maths

- Mathletics is updated regularly with tasks. Children know their login username and passwords but can check with me. They should login and complete their assigned tasks before progressing on to Live Mathletics...let's see how many points we can get! Click on the logo to go there now!

PE

Our class need their PE kit in every Monday. Swimming lessons will begin after the October half term.

-Bug Club is an exciting online reading resource with interesting books and reading activities. Your child knows their password and how to use the different resources on there.

We have started to use Times Table Rockstar!

A fantastic app/ website that lets us battle each other and test our times table knowledge, each child has been given their own individual login and can play individual games and try to beat their score or challenege others from all over the world in a safe environment. This has had a positive impact on our times table knowledge in school.
