Year 5 - Birch Class 24/25

It's All Greek to Me! Summer term

During Spring term, Year 5 will study Ancient Greek life and achievements and their influence on the western world. In Art, we will be looking at Greek Vases. In Science, we will know that unsupported objects fall towards the Eatth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object and identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction that act between moving surfaces. We will be reading The Nowhere Emporium in English as well as The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lessmore.

Reading - children are expected to read at least 4 times per week. You can help by asking your child about what s/he is reading.  Reading record to be signed by parent/carer. Records are checked in class every Friday ready for Celebration Assembly. 

Let's get 100% reads every week!

Spelling - new spellings are sent home every Friday, which are to be practised at home in your Spelling book. We will test a number of these spellings through a spelling dictation on a Friday. Spelling records will need to be in school on a Friday to be checked and new spellings to be put in. 

Times Tables - In Year 5,  we hope that pupils will be fluent in all times tables and division facts up to 12 x 12. We advise regular practise using 'Hit the Button' at home. 

Homework grid - Please see the homework grid in the file list with a variety of topic-based activities. You should complete 4 of these each term, these can be handed in whenever they are completed.
