Year 5 Topics

Year Five will start this academic year studying the 'Early Islamic Civilization' topic in which we will use drama and playscripts to bring to the era to life. This will be followed by our 'Invaders and Settlers' topic studying their impact on Britain which includes a Residential trip to Hooke Court. We will finish the year with our ‘Globe Trotters’ topic.

Homework

Alternating Maths and English homework will be sent home every week on a Monday and then marked the following Monday. Please remind your child to bring in their Homework book every Monday so new English or Maths sheets can be stuck in!

Spellings will be handed out every week. Children will be given 10 spellings to learn and a spelling test will take place every Monday.

In addition to this set homework, each week your child should read aloud most days and their reading record books signed. 

Class Routines

PE will take place on a Tuesday PM (Indoor PE) and Friday PM (Outdoor PE). Children should come into school in their PE kit on these days. No earrings or watches are allowed. Children need to have a blue PE shirt, blue shorts and/or jogging bottoms, a warm jacket, trainers and socks.
