Year 5 - Blwyddyn 5
Welcome to the Year 5 Noticeboard
We hope you find the following information and photographs useful for keeping up to date with what is happening in your child's class.
Our current topic for the Autumn Term is 'Escape!'. It is a topic that covers many of the skills from the Expressive Arts and the Humanities area of Learning from the Curriculum.
At the start of our topic, the pupils took part in an Epic Planning session to share ideas of how they would like to lead their learning through this topic. This continues throughout the topic, to get the pupil's input in to our Mission planning
Please check back each week for updates.

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.
