Year 5

Croeso i Flwyddyn Pump!

Welcome to Year 5!

The Year 5 class teachers are Mr Morgan, Mrs Harris and Mrs Thomas.

This term we will be reading and interpreting a variety of texts, and producing extended writing as part of our Success for All lessons. These include narrative writing, poetry and writing reviews.

In Mathematics it is important to be clear on our multiplication fact families, we are revising all of our families in the hope we can continue to become better mathematicians. Please continue to work with your child at home, every little helps! Homework will continue to be provided most weeks on Active Learn based on the topic being developed.

                                                       .

Our topic this term is THE GREAT WAR. We are very excited about exploring the history of World War 1 and will be starting off our topic with a great trip to Cardiff Castle. We hope that this will get everyone excited about the term ahead and also learn lots about what life was like during the time.

In Science our topic will be Recycling and Water Life. We will be carryng out investigations and will be asking the children to make predictions, discuss results and help them make informed decisions about how we can help the world to be more sustainable!! We are an Eco School after all!!

PE will take place on a Weds afternoon for both classes.

Please can you ensure your child has PE kit to take part in lessons safely. Please ensure your child brings a note from home if they are unable to take part for any reason.

Spellings will be given out each Monday. Please encourage them to practice at home as it will really help them with their work at school and maybe they will get some stickers and House Points too!! Mathd home will be set on Activelearn regularly.

We look forward to meeting you all soon at Parents Evening with lots of lovely things to say about your wonderful children.

Thank you 5TH for helping the Eco Council to sort the recycling bags. 18 bags collected in total!
