Meet the teacher 

Below are a few things that hopefully you will find useful. If you have any questions, then please contact us via the school office email address.

Important Dates

 

P.E

Tuesday - Outdoor P.E

Thursday - Indoor P.E

Children come into school wearing correct P.E kit 

Homework

Year 5 pupils usually receive English and maths homework  each week. All homework will be posted on Teams, and unless otherwise stated, returned via Teams as well. 

If the children have My Maths for their Maths homework, this is marked online by My Maths straight away and is submitted online the day it is completed. 

 

 

Spellings

The children are given a list of words at the beginning of each half term. They are taught the spelling rule at the beginning of the week and then the test is usually carried out on a Friday. In the daily activities section there is a document with different ways to help the children learn the spellings.

 

Timestables

The children all have access to TTRockstars, which they are encouraged to use to help them improve their speed at answering questions. Occasionally they will have time in school to use TTRockstars. When playing in Garage and Arena games, TTRockstars uses data-informed algorithm, which issues each learner with questions that are just right for them, every time. This will optimise every practice session and accelerate their progress to becoming a times tables rock star! 

 

On a Tuesday the children take part in a Club 99 challenge, they are given their tests  so they can share with you how they have done. 

Club 99 is a set of challenges that get increasingly more difficult. The children are given 8 minutes to complete the questions. 

 

Reading

The children are expected to read at least 4 times a week and we would the children to record it in their reading journals.  At the front of the books there are questions that they should use to help them with the comment. The books will be checked weekly.  

The children receive awards for the number of times they have read.

For the Spring Term, the children will need to achieve 50 days of reading to enjoy the reward. This terms reward will be an 'Easter Duck Hunt'. The deadline for the reads will be Friday 15th March.

Class Charter

Spring Term Quest

Our Autumn Term quest is 'A Hole New World' 

The quest is based on the Geography and Science curriculum. Within Science, the children will be going on a journey through space learning about different planets, moon phases and why we have day, night and different seasons. We will also be learning to pronounce different planets names in our French lessons. In Geography, we will be learning about North America alongside our class reader of Holes. The children will also have an opportunity to learn about the famous American artist Georgia O'Keeffe. In music, the children will be learning about and creating musicals as well as performing in their own Easter production at the end of the Spring term. 

Class Texts

During the Spring Term our class texts will include:

Holes

Written by Louis Sachar, 

 

 

Stanley Yelnats has bad luck ( which is all beacause of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather).

When Stanley's bad luck unfairly lands him in the juvenile detention center Camp Green Lake ( a very weird place that isn't green and doesn't have a lake), he and his camp mates Zero, X-Ray, Armpit, Squid, Magnet and Zig-Zag are forced to dig holes in order to build character...

But what are they really digging for?
