Welcome to Year 5 

Pandas Class - Miss Lain & Tigers Class - Miss Quinn

We hope you have had a lovely and restful Easter holiday and are ready for our Summer term learning to begin!

We are excited to start our new topic called ‘Hidden Treasures’, which is a historical study on the Ancient Egyptians. We will be looking at the important role of the River Nile and how it supported the Egyptians’ lives. We will also explore their religion, rulers, burials and communication through hieroglyphics.

Our RE learning will deepen our understanding of the Kingdom of God in Christianity and explore what kind of king Jesus is. In PSHCE, we will be exploring economic wellbeing by looking at needs vs. wants and how we can budget effectively. In our Art sessions, we will be experimenting with 3D medium to create a clay pot. We will build on our knowledge of decorating 3D art pieces and use various tools to create intricate patterns.

Important Information

P.E. Days will be Tuesday and Friday. Please wear P.E. uniform to school on these days.

Paper copies of spellings and home learning are sent home at the beginning of each half-term. We have also attached a copy of current home learning on this page. Spellings will be tested every Thursday.

As you will know the weather can be incredibly unpredictable at this time of year. Therefore, please ensure that your child is ready for all eventualities including a coat and appropriate footwear.

Please ensure your child’s clothing, including coats, jumpers, hats and scarves are all appropriately labelled with your child's name and ideally their class too so that we are able to return these to you as easily as possible.

Thank you for your continued support of your child's learning this year.

Miss Lain, Miss Quinn, Mrs Ribbins, Mrs Noor, Mrs Milton & Mrs Grundy
