PE days for the Spring term: Wednesday and Friday

Year 5 Classroom

This half term, our humanities topic will be all about the Anglo Saxons invasion of Britain, looking at the historical discoveries of Sutton Hoo, where the Anglo Saxons came from and how their invasion impacted Britain at the time. Within the curriculum this half term we will also be continuing our work on Fractions in maths and moving to look at decimals and percentages, as well as developing our writing through a short film 'The Black Hole' and picture book 'Zoo' by Anthony Browne.
We will be also be designing, making and evaluating moving toys using CAMs.

Homework will be handed out every Friday and should be completed and returned by Wednesday. Homework tasks are designed to reinforce what we have been learning in class and provide additional practice. If children have any worries or are stuck with anything, Miss Poulton and I are always happy to assist.

PE will take place on Wednesday and Friday. The lessons will focus on rounders and football. Please ensure your child comes to school in correct PE kit: a plain tracksuit for colder days and appropriate footwear. Earrings should always be removed on PE days. 

Regular reading at home is vital to your child’s progress. Please encourage children to read every day and record this in their reading record. We check reading records weekly every Monday, and any support you provide at home makes a significant difference.

School Visits 

In Year 5 we visit the West End in London to watch The Lion King in the Spring term. This links to our PSHE curriculum and supports us to think about the importance of treating everyone with respect and kindness. We also visit Chatham Green Wilderness Foundation in the Summer term.
