Welcome to Year 5
Welcome to Year 5's class page!
Well done Year 5 - what a fabulous residential! The pupils and staff thoroughly enjoyed their trip away and embraced the challenges that were on offer. Well done!
This half term we are finishing our History learning about the Ancient Islamic Empire and beginning our Geography work comparing the human and physical geography of Clapham and comparing it to Clayton.
Parents are invited into school on Monday 20th May to celebrate the wonderful learning that has been taking place in Year 5 this year. The children are eager to share work that they are proud of with their parents, particularly some fantastic written work in English and Science.
As always, a reminder to make sure that your child has both their indoor and outdoor PE kit in school - you can find details of what this includes further down the page.
Please let me know if you have any questions or queries,
Mrs Bartlett
English Homework
English homework and spellings will be given on a Monday and due back in to mark in class on Thursday. Our class spelling test will take place on Fridays.
Please check your child's reading journal for which day of the week their book should be returned to school. It is important that your child reads at home daily for 10-15 minutes, to an adult whenever possible. Please comment in the reading journal after listening to your child.
Maths Homework
Maths homework will be given on a Tuesday by Mr Kendall, due in on Friday to be marked in class.
We ask that you encourage your child to plan out their week to ensure they are able to complete their homework. If they are struggling with a task that has been set, please encourage them to ask myself or Mr Kendall for help.
Homework must be signed by an adult once it is completed to say that you have seen it and are happy with their effort.
PE
PE lessons are on Mondays and Fridays. Children will need both an indoor and outdoor kit, which should be in school at all times.
Indoor kit: white t-shirt, blue shorts, socks and black pumps.
Outdoor kit: a plain blue tracksuit, white t-shirt, socks and trainers.
