Welcome to 5M
Here is some useful information about your new class.
Daily
Children should bring their reading book and record every day. (reading records should be arriving soon)
Children should also bring a labelled water bottle and may bring a healthy snack for playtime.
PE
PE days are Tuesdays and Thursdays and children must bring their PE kits on these days. Kit is a blue tshirt and plain black or blue shorts. When the weather is colder, children will need a fleece and tracksuit bottoms or leggings as we will be going out even if very cold.
Homework
Children should read each day. In year 5 we encourage children to write their book into reading records. However we would like adults at home to sign and write comments to show they have read. On Mondays, spelling and rapid recall will be sent home to practise ready for tests on Fridays.
Topic
Our topic this term is Ancient Egypt. We have already shared what we know and are looking forward to learning much more. Our class assembly this term is on Friday 22nd October.
Over this past half term we have had the opportunity to engage in lots of learning in year 5. Below are some of the activities.
