Hello Year 5s,
We are so excited to get to teach you this year. It has been a very strange and challenging year for us all so we are really looking forward to coming back to school and being able to properly teach a lovely group of children again.
We have been working really hard to sure that when you come back school will be safe, familiar and fun. We will have a great year together and we are eager for it to start!

WHAT ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK? – Week Commencing 14 June 2021
In English, we will be finishing our narrative unit. We will be writing a letter in response the film ‘The Alchemist’s Letter’, developing our figurative language and planning, writing and editing a narrative detailing Nicholas’ actions and thoughts.
In our spellings for the week, we are learning unstressed vowels in polysyllabic words:
- definite
- desperate
- liberate
- secretary
- stationary
- dictionary
- Wednesday
- familiar
- original
- animal
In Maths, we will be recapping long multiplication and division.
If you would like to support your child with their maths work you could work on pages 12-17 in the maths work booklet.
Please continue to practise times tables with your children; the quicker they are at their times table facts the easier they will find maths.
You can support your child’s learning by reading with them as often as you are able. There has also been a lot of research to suggest that turning on the subtitles on your TV can really benefit a child’s reading.
Many thanks for your continued support,
Miss Thom
