Year 5

I am looking forward to continuing to teach Year 5 during the spring term alongside Miss Tucker (Teaching Assistant) and Mrs Ellis (Associate Teacher).

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 class topic, 'Stargazers'. We will being using ten relevant texts to help us explore our Universe and humankind's exploration within it. Our Maths focus, during the spring term, will be multiplication, division, statistics and fractions. We will continue to regularly practise our times tables and related division facts for our weekly Times Table challenge (each Friday morning). Our first writing focus this term is will be myths and legends. We will also be studying persuasive writing and further information texts related to space.

The Year 5 'Stargazers' topic web is ready to view on this page.

Year 5 have had lots of amazing ideas, for their take away homework, this term. A copy of these projects can be found in their yellow homework books.

During the spring 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. 

Year 5 have brought their reading books and diaries in daily over the autumn term.  Thank you. Please ensure that they continue to do this during the spring term.

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 further support.

Kind Regards,

Mrs J. Gabriel
