Year 5 - Blwyddyn 5
Welcome to the Year 5 Noticeboard
Week beginning 3rd November 2025
Welcome back to school.
We have had a lovely week back in school. The children have been continuing publishing their information texts on the 2nd World War. We have been continuing to read our story 'Boy at the Back of the Class' and discussing issues involving refugees today and historically.
We are looking forward to a busy week next week with a visit to the cinema and getting outdoor to start our Dig for Victory campaign.
Well done to all those children who are reading regularly, practising their number bonds and using Sumdog to reinforce their maths and language skills.

Home Learning
Our expectation are for the children to read daily at home. We check their reading records each Friday. Please help us monitor this by keeping this record up to date.
It is essential that pupils develop quick recall of their times tables. We have regular TT Rockstars sessions in school. Pupils can practice their tables in a variety of ways including logging in to Sumdog from home
Sumdog activities will also be set on a regular basis. Each time these are set, the children have 1 week to complete these.
