Welcome to Year Five with Miss Penrose and Mrs Walker!
History: Ancient Sumer
For our topic this half term, we are looking at the ancient civilization Sumer (Mesopotamia as named by the ancient Greeks). Using our new school timeline, we will be able to see where Sumer sits in History. Sumerians were also great inventors and mathematicians - they came up with the idea of timekeeping! I am super excited to explore this ancient world with year 5, learning all about what we now know to be the southern part of Iraq.
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). Year 5 are now over in the sports hall with Mr Downs.
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, practised their spellings and accessed Times Tables Rockstars.
