Welcome back to the new academic year at Goldthorn Park! We hope that you had a fantastic holiday and the children have been able to recharge their batteries!
We hope that you and your children have had a wonderful summer break, and we would like to warmly welcome everyone back for the start of a new school year. It is lovely to welcome the children back to school and support them as they settle into their new classes and routines.
The autumn term is always an exciting and busy time in Year 5. Building on the learning from Year 4, children will continue to develop their independence, confidence and resilience while taking on new challenges across the curriculum.
This year, we will be using the Oak National Academy curriculum to support and enhance our teaching across Year 5. Oak's carefully sequenced lessons help children build knowledge and skills progressively while making meaningful links across subjects where appropriate. The curriculum is designed to ensure all children receive a broad, balanced and engaging education that meets the expectations of the National Curriculum.
For more information about your child's learning this term, please see our Curriculum Overview.
Homework
Children will continue to receive reading books linked to their ability from school. Expectations of completing a reading journal on a weekly basis will continue. Like last year, they must be handed to the class teacher or teaching assistant to mark, books will then be able to be changed and the process can begin again.
We look forward to working with you over the next year to ensure your children have a valuable year. If you have any questions/queries now or throughout the year, please do not hesitate to speak to us.
Thank you for your continued support.
