Welcome back to school after a well-deserved half-term break. Year 5 really impressed us with their positivity and motivation during Autumn 1 and we are looking forward to seeing more of their amazing hard work as the term continues. We have lots to look forward to, including continuing out ‘Out of this World’ topic, Pupil Pledge activities and the countdown to Christmas!

PE Information

This year, your child will be doing PE on Mondays and Fridays. Please ensure that both indoor and outdoor kits are available for both days and please refer to the uniform policy to ensure the correct kit is worn.

Extended Learning

For extended learning, your child will be expected to complete weekly tasks. These will be:

• Reading at home (remember this could be reading to yourself just make sure an adult signs your reading record)
• TT Rockstars (30 minutes)
• Spelling practice via Spelling Shed (30 minutes)
• A piece of Maths and Reading homework

If your child completes any additional work at home, we would love to see what they have been working on!

Theme

We will be continuing our autumn term theme: ‘Out of this World’. We are going to be creating moving solar systems in DT and will be learning about forces in science this half term. We will also be using map skills and comparing two areas of the UK in our first geography unit of Year 5.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact any of the year 5 team.
