Class 5 2024 - 2025

Miss Chambers

Welcome to Year 5

Welcome back to Summer 2!

Welcome back to the final half term of the school year! We hope you had a restful break and are ready for an exciting few weeks ahead as we make the most of this last stretch before the summer holidays.

Below you'll find an overview of what we'll be focusing on in class.

In English, we’ll be exploring Radiant Child, written by Javaka Steptoe. Our main goal will be to write an information text about JUean-Michel Basquiat suitable for an art gallery.

In Maths, we'll learn more about decimals. Then, we will move on to explore negative numbers and measurement.

In Science, our focus will be Animals Including Humans. We’ll study the human life cycle and the different stages of development.

PE (including swimming) will take place on Tuesday. Please ensure that your child comes to school in the correct PE kit on this day.

Homework is assigned on Atom Prime every Friday and due in the following Wednesday. Please make sure your child’s account is activated and that they are completing their weekly assignments. You can access Atom Prime here. We’re also continuing to use Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRockstars) to support maths fluency. Regular practice at home is encouraged! Regular reading at home is essential for building fluency and enhancing comprehension skills. Please support your child in reading as often as possible.

I hope this helps! If you do have any issues or questions, please let me know!

Kind Regards,

Miss Chambers
