Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 12th September 2025
Summary of this week:
Year 5 continue to settle in amazingly well since joining. We are immensely proud of each and every one of them. We hope you have a fantastic weekend, and we look forward to welcoming your children back on Monday. Many thanks, Mr Lowe
Our learning next week:
Maths: In Maths, we are continuing our learning about place value and rounding numbers up to 1 000 000.
English: In English, the children will be continuing to engage with the ‘Tear Thief’ text.
Foundation:
In Science we are exploring air resistance by planning, investigating and evaluating an experiment.
In History, we will learn more about the Anglo Saxons and their origins.
In Computing, the children will explore tinkering and how it can be implemented using SCRATCH.
In PSHE, the children will be learning about rights and responsibilities, and how these link to our status as British citizens.
Homework:
This week, we have given all of the children Reading Records. We would politely ask that you and/or your child fill these out weekly, commenting on the books they are reading at home.
We have also given the children English HW and Maths HW books. English HW books contain our spelling overview for Autumn 1, so that the children can see what words they need to practice weekly.
If you have any queries regarding HW, please feel free to contact the year group e-mail.
Notices & Reminders:
Please be reminded that children will not be able to participate in PE if they have earrings/jewellery in. Please can all children come into school on Tuesday/Wednesdays without earrings and/or jewellery.
We will be making parachutes in Science next week. If anyone has any spare plastic bags, it would be much appreciated if your children could bring them in on Monday/Tuesday- thank you in advance!
