Year 5 is an important year and sees the children make the transition to upper key stage two. In year 5 we look to place more responsibility on the children by encouraging them to be more mature in their approach to their learning. It is important to see the children taking greater ownership of their learning becoming more independent and reflective.
In year 5 we encourage the children to continue their learning at home. Each child has their own login details for,
In Class This Week…
CLIC is our daily maths skills practice! Each day, as a starter for our maths lessons, we will ask the children to take part in some quick maths tasks. These will help your child with both their maths knowledge and also their quick recall speed. CLIC stands for Counting, Learn Its (facts you just have to learn), It’s Nothing New (building on existing facts) and Calculations.
This week in CLIC
C – Counting in multiples of 0.07s, 0.08s and 0.09s
L – The 4 times table (revision)
I – Coin card multiplication (x1, x2, x5, x10, x20, x50 and x100)
C – Where’s Mully? (Example: Mully is hiding behind the largest multiple of 7 without going past 721)
Spellings
19th March – New spellings issued
Nouns and verbs that sound similar (-ce are nouns / -se are verbs)
Advice, advise, license, licence, device, devise, prophesy, prophecy, practise and practice
These will be tested in Friday 26th March
Spellings will normally be issued each Friday and tested the following Friday. Your child will bring home with them a spelling list each week but not their spelling book, this will stay in school. They will also bring home a look, say, cover, write, check sheet, this is to practice their spellings and does not have to be returned to school.
In school, we will spend time each day learning the weekly spellings. In addition, each week there will be a spelling quiz set for homework. This can be accessed through the PurpleMash website and will feature in your child’s To Do list (they will be shown in school how to easily access this).
This link shows the Year5/6 spelling list from the National curriculum.
Reading
The children will be expected to read regularly at home. Although we encourage the children to read regularly, this may only be a couple of pages or 5 to 10 minutes. We are now asking that home reading is recorded on Microsoft Teams using the Class Notebook feature (this can be found in the General channel), your child has been shown how this works in school. If for any reason you are unable to access Teams, please send a weekly message on SeeSaw with details of home reading completed.
Your child can also access Fiction Express online (they have individual login details for this, please contact school if you need a reminder of these). When your child reads online, their class teacher can see what they have read. This saves having to complete other versions of remote reading records!
Games and PE
All PE/games lessons are currently taking place outdoors and your child should attend school in the PE/games kit on the day of their lessons (they will stay in this kit for the day). In spring 2 (8th March onwards) Year 5 will have two outdoor games sessions a week. These will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Although the weather is warming up as the year progresses, please make sure your child is wearing appropriate clothing (to keep warm and dry).
