The Year 5 Staff
The Year 5 teachers are Ms Bobat in 5FB and Mr Dowling in 5MD. Our teaching assistants are Miss Andrews and Mrs Mulla. Mrs Bate will be teaching in 5FB and Mrs Lowe in 5MD every other Thursday covering PPA, where they will be teaching the children Grammar, Music and Computing!
This term is a geography-led topic; we will be learning all about mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes. This is a super topic, where we will learn all about formations of mountains, how and why volcanoes erupt and the causes and impacts of earthquakes on land and people.
PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please ensure your child comes to school in the correct PE uniform.
Children take home a school reading book, which they can change on a Monday and Thursday. Each week, children should aim to read their home reading book every week night – at least 20 minutes! Children can also choose a class reading book from the class shelf and have opportunities to read in school every day. Children also have been given Times Tables Rock Star logins. Practicing their times tables is part of their weekly homework expectation.
A new spelling rule is introduced on a Monday and various spelling activities in school are then completed in the week, ready for an application activity on Friday.
Our doors are always open for you! If you need to speak to any of the Y5 staff, you can catch us at the beginning or end of the school day. Alternatively, you can ring the office to arrange a meeting at a convenient time.
Our book this term linked to our English:
Tick, tock, tick, tock! Some stories are like that. Once you've wound them up, nothing will stop them ...
A tormented apprentice clock-maker, a deadly mechanical knight in armour - and the sinister Dr Kalmenius, who some say is the devil ... Wind up these characters, fit them into a story on a cold winter's evening, with the snow swirling down, and suddenly life and the story begin to merge in a peculiarly macabre - and unstoppable - way.
Almost like clockwork ...
This is a very exciting and suspenseful fairytale that everyone will enjoy!
