Class 5 2024 - 2025

Miss Chambers

Welcome to Year 5

Welcome back to Summer 1!

We hope you had a restful and enjoyable Easter Break, and aren't too full of chocolate! We're now diving into Summer 1 and have lots of fantastic learning planned for Year 5. We hope the children return refreshed and ready for an exciting summer term.

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

In English, we’ll be exploring The Brilliant Deep, written by Kate Messner. Our main goal will be to write an information leaflet persuading children to consider the effects of climate change on coral reefs.

In Maths, we'll learn about 2D and 3D shapes, their properties, and how to identify and classify them.

In Science, our focus will be Living Things and Their Habitats. We’ll study the life cycles of different living things and their stages of development.

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
