Welcome to Year 5

Welcome to Year 5

Welcome back to the summer term at Goldthorn Park! We hope that you had a fantastic Easter holiday, and the children have been able to recharge their batteries!

​For more information about our learning this term, please click on the curriculum overview.

Thematic

We have a fantastic topic this term linked to space called ‘Full of beans’ and we cannot wait to get stuck in learning about Beans!

P.E

Our PE sessions are every Wednesday and Thursday where children come to school in their PE kit:

Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days.

Spellings

Children in year 5 will be grouped according to ability for spelling. If your child is working on floppy phonics, they will have 3 lessons per week and will receive weekly spellings. If your child is working at age related spellings, they will have two Oak academy lesson per week and will receive fortnightly spellings. These will be given out on a Friday.

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 term, 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 term to ensure your children have a valuable term. 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.
