Little Waltham Primary School

Sycamore Class

Teachers: Miss Rich

PE days for the Spring term: Wednesday and Friday

Year 5 Classroom

This half term, our humanities topic will be all about Latitude and Longitude, using coordinates to map the world. Within the curriculum this half term we will also be working with decimals in maths as well as developing our writing through the book 'Kensuke's Kingdom'. We will be writing narratives, descriptions and a biography of a character from the story. We will be also be practising our sketching skills by exploring the work of Frida Kahlo.

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 netball. Please ensure your child comes to school in their 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.

School Visits 

In Year 5 we visit the West End in London to watch The Lion King 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.
