Welcome to Year 5

Learning Web - Spring Term 1

Year 5 Curriculum Overview

Our Typical Week & Timings

After entering the classroom at 8:45, Year 5 complete Early Morning Activities in their books which focus on Maths, Reading, Writing and SPaG skills, before moving onto the rest of their lessons. Please ensure your child is ready for 8:45 to ensure they are not missing out on key learning activities first thing in the morning!

Homework:

Homework grids are sent out at the start of each term.  Children can choose as many or as few activities as they like that you are able to fit into their home lives. 

Purple Mash and Times Table Rock Star logins will be stuck in the front of Homework books.

P.E: 

Please ensure your child has their trainers in school every day so they can run the Daily Mile – we are encouraging Year 5 to improve their fitness, and the time taken to complete their laps. 

Outdoor P.E. is on Tuesday. Please can your child come to school in their P.E. kit.

Indoor PE is on  a Thursday. Please can your child come to school in their Barley Hill P.E. kit.

Reading:

Please ensure your child is reading at least 3 times per week at home. Your child will need at least one parental signature in their reading diaries per week, while we do insist on reading at least 3 times. A child who reads three times per week will then add a tick to the class’s Read to Succeed chart; once we reach 200 ticks, the class will receive a class reward.

Please follow the link below for guidance on books to read in Year 5. Year 5 will visit the school library on Friday morning. Please also remember that library trips are a great opportunity for your child to broaden their literary range, so if you have not yet joined the library, please consider doing so!
