Year 5 Newsletter – End of Term Update
What an incredible first term in Year 5! It’s been a busy and exciting few weeks filled with learning, creativity, and fun.
In Literacy, we explored poetry and wrote imaginative, descriptive pieces inspired by the Blitz. The children showed fantastic creativity and expression in their work.
Our Science lessons were all about buoyancy! Linked to our whole-school book Float, we experimented with different materials and even designed and tested our own boats – a real highlight for many.
In Maths, we built on our skills in addition and subtraction, tackled simple algebra, and solved problems involving missing numbers. We rounded off the term by classifying 2D shapes according to their properties.
The absolute highlight of the month was our Christmas show – It’s a Census, Get Me Out of Here!!! The children were amazing, and we are so proud of their hard work and confidence on stage.
This final week has been full of festive cheer with arts and crafts and a special visit to the church to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
Thank you for your continued support throughout the term.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The Year 5 Team

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.
