Welcome to the Year 5 blog. The children have made a fantastic start to the new school year and we are looking forward to a great year ahead.

Our welcome meeting for parents will be on the Monday 16th September, starting at 5.30 p.m. followed by a meeting about the residential. Medical forms will be sent out next week in preparation for the meeting.

Diaries containing Sumdog logins have been sent home along with new home learning books. The children have a copy of the creative homework for this term. One piece needs to be completed per half term.

Each week (starting next Friday) the children will receive some homework. This will often be spellings, word level work and Sumdog maths. When we introduce a new topic we will sometimes provide a pre-teaching video on the school maths blog. This can be found on the same page as the Year 5 blog. Please ensure your child has watched the place value video this weekend.

A letter will be sent out next week about our WWII evacuation day (23rd September), where children can come to school dressed as an evacuee. We will also send out some dimensions for them to make their own gas mask box.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year 5 team
