Year 5

Welcome to the Year 5 class page

Our classroom environment is based on encouragement, fun, resilience, hard work and trust.

We follow our Ruby Rules and support each other in all our endeavours. Year 5 is a very supportive and caring place to be.

We have lots of exciting topics this year which the children will love and some fantastic texts to read!

We value the support you give your children at home and by working as a team we will have a very successful year!

Evidence Me - Parental Communication App

Don't forget to check Evidence Me for regular updates on what your child has been learning about. There's lots of pictures and videos to see! Please ask if you need your login.

Reading

Please listen to your child read as often as possible. The more your children read the more progress they will make. Please make comments in your child's reading diaries and if you have any questions at all please let us know. Books will be changed regularly.

Our class read this half term is : Aquila by Andrew Norriss

Spellings

By the end of Year 5, children are expected to master a combination of statutory word lists and specific spelling rules as outlined in the National Curriculum.

Our spellings are given out every Monday and must be practised throughout the week. Please try and do this daily as it is an integral part to children's learning. Spellings will be given out in homework book to be returned on Thursday.

Times Tables

Knowing times tables is a fundamental skill for primary school children because they act as a 'building block for almost all other areas of mathematics. When they can recall multiplication facts instantly, they move from basic counting to higher-level mathematical thinking.They all worked extremely hard to learn them in Year 4 so lets keep reinforcing this.

As part of the National Curriculum we have two hours of PE a week. Our PE days is Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure that your child arrives to school in their PE kit on these days. This is a school t-shirt in their team colours or a white plain t-shirt and blue or black shorts. Please send them with trainers rather than pumps too as we do try and get outside as much as we can. Earrings also need removing before the lesson.

Year 5 Learning 2025-26

Here is what we will be learning in Year 5 this year. Please encourage your child to discuss what they have learnt during the year and we love seeing projects the children have done at home.

Year 5 Long term plan

Knowledge organisers

At the start of our new topics in our subjects we share with the children the what we will be learning. They then have a copy of this to refer back too. We find this helps the children to retain what they have been learning in class. It also encourages them to ask questions relevant to the topic. This is the knowledge organisers so far this year.
