Our curriculum this term is titled...

Stargazers

 

Welcome back. We hope that you all managed to rest in one way or another and had a wonderful time spending time with loved ones. Our curriculum this half term in Year 5 is titled “Alchemy Island” and will have a Science driver. 

Please find below an overview of your child’s learning during this term. Any further learning at home to develop your child’s understanding of these subject areas would be wonderful.


Take a look at our curriculum newsletter and knowledge organisers for this term here:

For up-to-date information and photographs of your child's learning, please keep an eye on your child's Class Story on Class Dojo.

Each week, Year 5 will have the following homework tasks to complete:

  • Spellings - key words that they have been learning in the week are sent home on a Friday to prepare for a spelling test on Monday.
  • Reading - at least 5 times a week at home, this can be on MyOn or with a school reading book. Please record your reading using the Boom Reader (Reading Record).
  • Times Tables  - practice your times tables daily using Times Table Rockstars (see below). We also expect you to complete three soundchecks per week.

 

If there are any issues with the completion of the homework tasks set each week, please contact your child's class teacher.

 

It is very important that you are able to rapidly recall your times tables up to 12 x 12. We will be practising our times tables in school on a daily basis to improve our mental arithmetic.


Remember, we are always looking for our top TTRS scorer and there are extra rewards for those who earn the most coins each week! This is a fun and interactive way to help you learn your times tables! 

Here is a multiplication grid to help you learn your times tables:

 

We ask that Year 5 are reading for a minimum of 20 minutes each day - this can be your school ZPD reading book, a book from MyOn or any other time of text - a newspaper, magazine, website article or your own reading book.

This can be independent reading - without reading to an adult - although if possible, please read to an adult at least once a week and record this in your reading record. 

Once you have completed a school reading book with a ZPD sticker, then you can complete the Reading Quiz to gain points on the Accelerated Reader website here:
