Welcome to Year 5!

I am looking forward to teaching Year 5 with the support of Mrs. Gray. 

One of our key aims is to foster independence and a lifelong love of learning in all of the children in our class.

This term, we are very excited to start our new whole school topic, 'We Will Remember'. We will being using the book, Private Peaceful, by Michael Morpurgo, to help us explore World War I and what life was like for those living 100 years ago. Our Maths focus, during the Autumn term, will be Place Value, followed by mental and written methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Our first writing focus will be Narrative, which will include letter and diary writing. 

The Year 5 World War One Topic Web is available to view on this class page.

As a class, we have discussed and chosen a range of activities and projects for our take away homework. 

During the Autumn term, Year 5 will have their P.E. lessons every Monday and Thursday. Please make sure that your child has their full P.E. kit in school every day, as the timetable may be subject to change. 

The children have now received their new reading diaries. Each child should bring their diary and current reading book to school every day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office or when collecting your child at the end of the school day.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Kind Regards,

Mrs J. Gabriel
