Welcome Eagles, Falcons, Hawks and Kites!

Welcome Eagles, Falcons, Hawks and Kites

 

Welcome Year 5,  to your new year group page!  

What an action-packed Autumn Term we will have.  We have many things to look forward to in our upcoming lessons:  in English we will study and enjoy the texts ‘The Lost Happy Ending by Carol Ann Duffy and ‘Eye of the Wolf' by Daniel Pennac; in Mathematics we will consolidate our knowledge and understanding of mathematics and apply our mathematical skills to investigations; in science we will study ‘Materials and their Properties’ and for our history and geography learning, we will be learning about an ancient civilisation with the topic name 'Archaeologists'.  

We hope that you have a wonderful summer holiday.  Do not forget to participate in the ‘Summer Reading Challenge’ at your local library.  This year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme is 'Read to the Beat'.  Remember to record any reading that you complete in your school planner.  (http://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk).

It would be really helpful if you continued to practice your mathematics and reading in addition to completing the homework.  There are some really useful websites for you to do this on the 'useful links' page on the 'Year Group Pages' section of the website.

As you move into upper school, we (your teachers) have very high expectations of the behaviour we expect in our classrooms. We will all follow the school rules: ‘Ready, Respectful, Safe’ and model our school values: ‘Bravery, Respect, Integrity, Determination, Generosity and Excellence’ as well as always demonstrating beautiful manners.

We are very much looking forward to our first half-term together in Year 5.

 

Best wishes,

Mr Mitchell, Mrs McCarthy, Miss Brown, Mr Hopkins and Miss Shaw.
