Welcome to Year 5!

We hope you have had a lovely summer holidays making lots of memories with the your family and friends.

We are looking forward to getting to know you all, help you settle into Year 5 and start our learning journey.

This term our Literacy is based on the text ‘Zoo’ by Anthony Browne, a story which has more to it than first meets the eye. In Numeracy we will be recapping our knowledge and understanding of place value as well as addition and subtraction. Our first Topic as always is looking at a local area, in Year 5 this is Queenborough, where we will be finding out about the history of the area including where its name came from and the Dutch invasion.

In Year 5, we will continue to focus on AR, TTRS and spellings as the weekly homework expectations, with certificates being rewarded each week for all your efforts. Weekly spelling sheets will be sent home in order for you to practice ready for your spelling test each Monday.

We look forward to an exciting, busy and successful year where we hope everyone will show that they are ‘the best that they can be’!
