Year 5 Curriculum Newsletter: Autumn

Year 5 Curriculum Newsletter : Autumn

Dear Parents/Carers,

A warm welcome back to the Autumn term from the Year 5 team! We hope you find this letter informative; please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions relating to the curriculum.


Homework
Our expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the following every night:
● 15 minutes reading to themselves or an adult (signed in the reading record)
● 15 minutes practising spellings in their spelling book
● 15 minutes rehearsing times tables facts (including multiplication and division)


Extended Learning
To assist children with their learning even further, the children can use ‘Mathletics’. Each child has been given a personal login so that they can access tasks the class teacher has set for them. Please scan the QR code to go directly to the login page. The children can also create posters, writing etc connected to the topics we are learning in class.


Spellings
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should practise their words every evening. Spelling books must be brought in on Fridays, which is also when the weekly test happens.


P.E Lessons
Willow and Redwood will have PE lessons every Monday afternoon. Please ensure that you send your child/ren to school in appropriate clothing so that they are able to take part.


Curriculum Information
We have included a summary of the topics which the children will be covering this term. If you would like to make any suggestions of what you or your child would like to learn in relation to the topics taught, please inform your child’s class teacher. We welcome any suggestions you may have.


We look forward to meeting you over the next few weeks; please do send us an email if you have any questions or queries.
