Here’s what we’ll be covering over this term in Year 5:

English

In English, we will be writing suspense stories based on the chilling extract, Room 304. We will then be learning how to write letters of complaint so be prepared for some formalised moaning at home. For our class story, we will soon be starting The Day I Fell Into a Fairy Tale.

PE

Our PE days remain on Monday and Friday afternoons.

Our two units will be dance and netball.

There will also be opportunities for some children to attend additional workshops for dance at Chiltern Academy.

Homework

The expectation continues to be that each child reads three times per week at home and practises their timetables on TTRockstars (twenty-one minutes per week)

Spellings should also be practised at least three times per week – we will be sending separate spelling sheets home so that parents have their own copy.

Optional topic homework is also available, and all homework is posted weekly.
