Key information:

 

PE Days are Wednesday for Year 5.

 

Homework will be given out on a Wednesday, marked in school with the children on the following Wednesday and new homework given. Homework should be handed in by Monday of each week please.

 

Spellings will be tested on a Friday and new spellings will be stuck in to the front of diaries to learn for the following week.

 

Please record reading at home a minimum of three times per week and sign your child's diary to acknowledge that this has taken place. Your child has a reading bingo card in the front of their diary. This is to encourage reading across a range of genres. When your child has read a book, comic or magazine from one of the bingo squares, please record this in the diary and it will be stamped when diaries are signed on a Friday. Once the children complete a line, they will receive a dip in the prize box from Mrs Collinson. When the whole card is completed they will receive a book of their choice from the vending machine and receive a certificate in assembly. 

 

Sharing assembly will take place at 9am on a Friday in the Key Stage Two hall, you will be notified by Marvellous Me if your child will be receiving a certificate in sharing assembly. If you no longer have Marvellous Me installed, please contact school for a joining code as this is the main way for us to share messages, good news and reminders with you.

 

Your child should bring a named water bottle, a healthy snack, their diary and their pencil case (if they have one) to school with them each day. The tuck shop is open at breaktime for children to purchase toast, crumpets, teacakes, milkshakes or juice during their breaktime each morning.

 

Autumn 1

 

 Our first mini mission for the Autumn half term is based on the book 'Tuesday' by David Weisner. It is a picture book with amazing artwork. In this mini mission the children will use figurative language to write a narrative for the story. They will also use more formal language to create a crime report about the mysterious incident. In Science, the children will learn about lifecycles of different animals. They will compare one lifecycle to another and also investigate gestation periods of various mammals. In geography, pupils will explore maps, learn a variety of maths symbols and develop their understanding of grid references. To complete the mini mission, children will practise sketching and learn new brush techniques to create a watercolour of a scene from the story.
