Sycamore Class

Teachers: Mrs R Baker and Mrs S Murray

Year 5 Classroom

This half term, our main topic will be 'Exploring Iceland'. Within the curriculum this half term we will also be studying Forces in Science and the work of Hannah Hoch in Art.

Homework will be handed out every Friday and should be completed and returned by Wednesday. Homework tasks are designed to reinforce what we have been learning in class and provide additional practice.

PE will take place on Wednesday and Friday. The lessons will focus on Hockey and Football. Please ensure your child comes to school with a complete PE kit, a plain tracksuit for colder days and appropriate footwear.

Regular reading at home is vital to your child’s progress. Please encourage children to read every day and record this in their reading record. We check reading records weekly every Monday, and any support you provide at home makes a significant difference.

End-of-term assessments in Reading, Writing and Mathematics will take place at the end of November. These assessments will help us evaluate your child’s progress this term and put in place further challenge or support. Reports to parents will then be sent home at the end of term.

School Visits

In Year 5 we visit the West End in London to watch Wicked in the Spring term. This links to our PSHE curriculum and supports us to think about the importance of treating everyone with respect and kindness. We also visit Chatham Green Wilderness Foundation in the Summer term.
