Welcome to the Year 5 class page

 

Summer term 2023

 

 

Here is the newest member of the class, Snowy the snow leopard.  The children chose to sponsor an endangered snow leopard instead of receiving sweets for Christmas this year.

School Time Table

English

Our final class reader is another Frank Cottrell-Boyce story - Millions.  We are getting stuck in to this novel and enjoying reading aloud to one another in class.
We will complete our work on the Highwayman before completing some creative writing and a report using The World's Worst Children as a stimulus. 
Most children are reading regularly and bringing in their reading records - let's keep this up until the end of term.

Mathematics

In maths, we continue to look at shape and measure and will also dip our toes into Roman Numerals.  We will keep up our Century and TTRS in class too.
In class, we complete our daily Learn Its; achieving three correct tests in a row means that you will move up a level.It has been very rewarding to see so many children move up on their Learn Its towards Ultimate challenge level.   Good recall of all multiplication facts to 12 x 12 is needed to move up.  Three minutes a day on Times Table Rock Stars will help you to speed up your recall.  
Don't forget about Century...
Century Tech is accessible in school and at home to reinforce learning and help plug any gaps in understanding that the children might have.  You may now complete Century in place of (or as well as) your Time Table Rock Stars tasks.

Science

We will build on our learning from Summer one and look at life cycles of insects, amphibians and mammals.  We also learn about the stages of human growth and how our bodies change as we get older.
 
 
Other curriculum areas
Geography - Is there enough for everyone? We investigate how natural resources are shared.

Reading books can be returned to be changed any day. Please encourage your child to read a few pages each night.  Book quizzes may be completed at home or in school.  If you are using the app at home, then you need to access our school's page: Accelerated Reader  

If you are struggling to access this at home please do let me know.

Homework

 

Times Table Rock Stars homework has been set for all pupils and should be completed by Friday each week.  Alternatively, spend 20 minutes on your Century nuggets.  Century log-ins have been sent home with all students.  Century work is tailored to each child's particular needs and can be completed at home as well as in school.

Comprehension papers to be marked in school will be sent home on Friday to be returned by the following Thursday.  

Spelling lists for the half-term will be sent home.

 

 

 

Remote Learning

We have migrated our online learning onto our remote learning platform 'Microsoft Teams'. Click the link below to login and access our online learning.  A guidance video is available from our 'Remote Learning' page. This can be accessed by clicking the red 'Home Learning' tabs above.

Getting on Teams

 

 

If you are working at home at the moment I hope that you are able to access your maths online and you have keeping up with the reading and writing that was sent home. Check TEAMs for a daily message on where you should be up to with your work.

Take care, Mrs Boden
