Welcome to Year 5
We have a lot of exciting topics to cover and are really looking forward to the year ahead. We will start by learning about life in Ancient Greece. Later, we will be looking at earthquakes and considering the impact that they have on land and civilisation. In addition, we will be learning about the Earth in Space. We will also discover how the Anglo-Saxons lived, as well as finding out about the history of crime and punishment!
Children are still expected to read frequently at home, recording this in their Reading Records, which should then be signed by an adult. It is important that they read a range of different text types and continue to discuss what they are reading with an adult at home, even if they are fluent enough to read to themselves.
As well as reading, children should regularly practise their spellings and times tables. Additional homework will be set regularly and can usually be completed on Purple Mash.
We look forward to working with you all over the coming year.
Mrs Sutton and Mr Mussard
