Welcome to Year 5 

Teacher: Mr Newall

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Belfield

Homework:

Homework is set every Friday and should be completed and returned by the following Friday. Homework will usually consist of one maths piece and one English piece. 

Spellings:

Spellings tests take place every Wednesday. Children should ensure that they are learning the definitions of the words alongside how they are spelt. 

Reading:

Children should be reading regularly at home with an adult. Reading journals should be signed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Please ensure you are using the VIPERS reading booklets to help question your children on the books they are reading. These can be found in your child's file. 

PE:

During Spring 2, PE will take place on a Monday afternoon. Please ensure your child is equipped with both and indoor and outdoor PE kit. 

Well, that was a sudden stop without any warning! Fear not... I will upload the answers to our maths challenges and go through the methods each day. You have 3 pieces of maths to complete and our final piece of literacy, which is to create a comic strip and 2 characters. 1 superhero and 1 super villain. 

Autumn 1... Done. 
 

After completing our first 8 few weeks and studying Danny The Champion of the World, we celebrated by digging up our own veg from the school allotment & roasting pheasants on a fire. The best way to improve writing and DT skills!
