The year 5 teachers this year are Miss Goldsack and Ms Simpkins (Owl Class) and Miss Ford (Dove Class). Our TAs are Laura (Monday to Friday) and Mrs Naushahi (Monday to Thursday mornings).
PE will be taught on a Wednesday and Thursday. Children need to wear PE kits (a house colour T-shirt) on these days.
Homework will be given out on a Friday and needs to be returned on the following Thursday.
Maths
In Maths the children will focus on one specific block of work (such as adding, subtracting, fractions, shape etc.) over a few weeks.
English (Writing and Reading)
Each term, the children will use a high-quality text as their stimulus for writing and to develop their reading skills. Below is a list of the books we will be using in Year 5 this year:
Kick by Mitch Johnson
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis
Cosmic by Frank Cottrell-Boyce
The Explorer by Katherine Rundell
Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q. Raúf
Varmints by Helen Ward
Enquiry
Each enquiry is a question that the children will gradually answer over the term. Our enquiries this year will be:
- Who is trading with whom?
- What goes on behind the scenes?
- What makes our planet unique?
- What is chocolate?
- Where is our twin?
- How do habitats affect lifecycles?
