Welcome to year 5! My name is Miss Steadman and I will be the class teacher this year. This is a welcome letter to you all.
Year 5 PE days are Monday and Thursday, so please can the children be sent into school in full school PE kit.
Homework will be handed out on Friday and be expected to be in on Tuesday. There will be an English piece and maths piece. I would like your child to be reading every night as well, this should be written in the reading records.
Hopefully we can get some school trips booked soon.
This term we will be learning about:
| Literacy | Beowulf. We will be doing lots of writing around this book, including newspaper articles, stories and even poetry. |
| Numeracy | Our maths this term is all about place value. In year 5 we learn numbers up to 1,000,000. We will also be learning about addition and subtraction. |
| Science | Our Science topic this term is Forces. I have planned in lots of experiments, so get your thinking caps on. |
