Sycamore Class

Teachers: Mrs R Baker and Mrs S Murray

Year 5 Classroom

In the Spring half term, our main topic will be exploring what shapes the world’s diverse climates and cultures. Within the curriculum this half term we will also be studying properties and changes in materials in Science and 'What does it mean to be a Muslim in Britain today?' in our RE lessons.

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 Dance and Basketball. Please ensure your child comes to school with a complete PE kit, a plain tracksuit for colder days and appropriate footwear. Earrings should always be removed on PE days.

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.

An update on pupil progress will be provided through parent consultations the week beginning the 10th February.

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.
