Summer 2

And just like that, we are in the last half-term of Year 5!

This half-term our main focus will be on our local area. We will be learning all about Blofield, the county of Norfolk and what makes these places special. On the 7th July we will be heading off to the Broads Museum to enhance our learning about the Norfolk Broads.

Our English lessons will support our topic as we will be reading Floodlands by Marcus Sedgwick. This is a story based in Norwich and tells the fictional story of what happens when the sea rises and Norwich becomes an island.

Swimming is on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. On these days, the children should come to school in PE kit with their swimming kit in a bag please.

Weekly Homework

Reading - The expectation is to read 5 times a week. Reading journals are checked every Friday. On completion of a book, if there is a quiz on Accelerated Reader pupils should complete it at home where possible. Please encourage the children to record their quiz results in their reading journals.

To take a reading quiz, please follow the link below:

Times Tables - Children should continue to practise their times tables using Times Table Rock Stars. I will continue to add optional maths homework on the class page. This will focus on an aspect of learning from the maths lessons that week.

Spellings - Each week, we focus on 10 spellings with a common theme or pattern. Children will have these in their reading journals should they wish to practise at home. They are also available on the class page.

Please do not hesitate to contact me via the Class5 email below if you have any queries or concerns.
