Year 5 2023 - 2024

Mrs Thomas

Welcome to Year Five

Year 5 is taught by Mrs Lynda Thomas and is supported by Miss L Hughes 

 

Weekly Round-up

 

The children are working towards writing a biography of Chris Hadfield the Canadian astronaut and this week watched films of The Apollo 11 moonlanding, using this as a focus for writing sentences including parenthesis. Next week, the children will be planning and undertaking research for their end-of-unit write.

We are back to fractions next week in maths with an initial focus on multiplying fractions.

In History this week the children wrote a Viking saga including a lot of the knowledge of the Viking era they have learned to date. During PSHE this week Year 5 have talked about what a drug is and how there are different types of drugs both legal as well as illegal. The children learned that a drug changes the way a body feels and can affect how a person thinks.  

Year 5 are really enjoying our current art Unit of work at the moment which has a focus on fashion design and in their lesson this week they were designing an outfit for a particular event. Your child should be able to describe their outfit/event if you ask them.

Thank you so much to all the children who entered our year 5 poetry competition. The two winning poems from year 5 will be performed in the Poetry Final assembly on Wednesday morning.

Where has this Spring Term gone to? We have less than two weeks left and then it will be Easter!

Take care everyone and have a good weekend. I don’t know if we will be getting sunshine but the world out there is definitely starting to feel a bit warmer.

Spelling and Punctuation

BBC Bitesize contains lots of valuable learning material linked to a wide range of topics.. For spelling rules click on the link here and for punctuation click here (note semi-colons and colons are in the Y6 English curriculum, however Y5 need to understand the names and how to use all other punctuation forms).

Times Tables

There are some times tables booklets for you to download on this page if needed, however the children are doing amazingly well in their weekly times tables tests and we are compiling our 'Premier League' table of pupils who are brave enough to take on the challenge of being timed to recall their tables in the shortest possible time! 

Wellbeing

Our Hillside Website has a Wellbeing Page that is being regularly updated and managed by Miss Leisa Hughes. You can find links to My Happy Mind, a range of activities and useful links to help support well-being and a positive mental health. Please do look at this page (situated below the Y6 class page on our website).
