Welcome to Year Five with Miss Penrose and Mrs Walker!
Topic: Anglo-Saxons and Vikings
Our topic this term is about the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings. At the end of the term, Year 5 will be engaging in a project titled ‘Prepare for War!’ Everything that we learn in the weeks leading up to this will equip Year 5 with the knowledge to fully engage in the project. Who will come out victorious – the ‘Smashing Saxons’ or the ‘Vicious Vikings’?
P.E
Our P.E day will be every Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure children come to school dressed in appropriate P.E clothing (including clothing for outdoor P.E).
Homework
Each week, spellings will be sent out via Ping. We expect that the children practise their spellings each night. Spellings will be tested the following Monday.
Children have their log-ins for Times Tables Rockstars and they should log on for 10 minutes each day. They have also been given log-ins for maths.co.uk and spag.com (these have all been stuck into the front of their homework books).
Reading books will be sent home each day with the children. We expect that the children read for at least 10 minutes a day at home.
Please ensure you are signing your child’s homework book daily when they have read, practiced their spellings and accessed Times Tables Rockstars.
I have attached our Medium Term Plan below. Do not forget to follow us on Twitter @StPetersYr5 for regular updates.
