Class 5 2024 - 2025

Miss Chambers

Welcome to Year 5

Welcome back to Spring 2!

We hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable week off, and we're excited to start the next part of the term with you. With the days getting sunnier and warmer, we’re looking forward to the extra energy and positivity as we dive into the new term.

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

In English, we’ll be exploring The Darkest Dark, with a focus on astronaut Chris Hadfield. Our main goal will be to write a formal biography, diving into his incredible journey and achievements.

In Maths, we'll continue building our understanding of decimals and percentages. Afterwards, we will focus on perimeter and area, learning how to calculate and apply these concepts to various shapes.

In Science, our focus will be on Earth and Space. We’ll study the movement of the Earth and other planets and the way the Earth orbits the Sun in our solar system.

PE will take place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Please ensure that your child comes to school in the correct PE kit on these days.

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
