9 In Year 5 we aim to:  Ensure a smooth transition from Year 4  Encourage confidence and self belief  Develop children’s independence  Expand skills for life long learning  Encourage ownership of their learning  Promote team work  Enable every child to experience success

10 What will the children learn?  A topic web is sent home at the beginning of each new topic giving specific details about what we will be learning.  Homework will be sent alongside the topic web with suggestions for extending learning about the topic at home.

11 Topics in Year 5  Our amazing planet  We are investigators!  Incredible Invaders  Space explorers  Mysterious Mesopotamia

12 Forest School in Year 5  All Year 5 pupils will take part in Forest school for half a term. They will spend Thursday afternoons in the Forest school area learning a range of personal and technical skills. Activities include making shelters, learning how to use tools to cut and shape wood and a range of games designed to develop team working and creative thinking.  You will be informed when your child is participating. They will need wellies, waterproof trousers, coat and a complete change of clothes. They go out whatever the weather!

15 Daily routines continued  School book bags should be brought in every day with your child’s home school liaison books in case we need to get a message home to you or you need to communicate with us. These will continue to be checked daily.  Children will have access to the toilets and water fountain nearest to their classroom. We encourage them to bring in a water bottle to keep in class (clearly labelled with their name)  Children need PE kit in school every day.

16 Books As well as the blue home school liaison book, your child will need:  Reading journal (where you can encourage your child to read independently at home and comment on their books)  Spelling log book (where you can help support you child with any spelling words they need to focus on learning)

17 Celebrating achievements The merit system is used in Year 5 in the same way as in Year 4. Each pupil will get a new merit book at the start of the year. Star of the week – chosen for working well in class. Mathematician of the week – awarded for outstanding work in Maths. Writer of the week – awarded for outstanding work in English.

18 Homework  There will be a selection of homework options, closely related to the topic for the term, these will cover both literacy and maths areas of the curriculum.  There will be a regular opportunity to share and comment on homework in class.  My Maths homework will be set each Friday.

19 The role of parents  Encourage your child to develop a sense of independence – packing their own school bag, remembering their books.  Ensure your child is reading regularly at home and using their reading log book to comment on their book, every night if possible.  Homework – help and guidance where necessary.  Please come in to help in the classroom or on a trip, if you can.(Please ensure you have a current CRB check – the Office can complete this. )  Communicate any messages to your child’s teacher via the home school liaison book.
