Welcome to our Autumn Term!

We are really looking forward to our new year and hope the children enjoy their time in Year 5 with myself (Mr Jarvis), Miss Caunt and Mrs Anson.

We have some fantastic work ahead of us, with some wonderful books to read (Friend or Foe, Letters From The Lighthouse) and a great topic of World War 2 which we hope the children will find interesting and informative.

In Autumn 2 we will be designing and making electronic cards in our D&T lessons.

On Tuesday mornings, we will be going swimming! Please ensure your child has their swimming costume, towel and cap with them. We leave school at 9.am. so don't be late. Our PE day is Wednesday - please make sure the children have their PE kits in school on that day.

Spellings will be given out every week. Please practise them as the children will be tested on a Friday.

It is really important for the children to practise their reading at home on a regular basis. Everyone should read at least 3-4 times a week at home (parents please encourage this and try to listen whenever possible) even if it only for 10 minutes each time. Reading books will come home every night and should come back into school every day.

And, children, don't forget to play Times Table Rockstars whenever you can as this will help your maths a lot, as well as helping Class 7 to win our weekly in school tournament. Prizes are on offer for the successful children!
