Welcome to Class 5

Class Teacher:
Mrs Small





Learning Support:

​Mrs Tapp



​Welcome to Year 5. We hope that you have lots of fun and make good progress this year.
Autumn Term 2020

English: 
This half term, our English work is based around Michael Morpurgo's story 'King of the Cloud Forest' - an adventure story set in the Himalayas. It links well with our topic this term - Rivers and Mountain. Given the long break from formal schooling, we will spend some time going back over previous learning to remind pupils about the basics of sentence structure and punctuation.

Maths:
As always, the autumn term starts with a look at place value. We will be investigating the value of digits up to 1,000,000 with activities such as ordering and comparing numbers and rounding to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand and hundred thousand. This will be followed by work on addition and subtraction of numbers up to 5 digits.

Lots of you are making really good progress with your tables through TT Rockstars. Carry on practising every day as just a few minutes helps to secure the facts into your long term memory.

Our math's 'homework' (KIRFs) for this term focus on honing mental addition and subtraction skills. Many of you will slready be quite quick at calculating in your head, in which case challenge yourself with bigger numbers. It is really important that this skill is embedded and practised regularly.
 Science:
We will investigate the properties of materials and how they change in different conditions. We will spend time looking at how some substances dissolve and form solutions in water and how they can be separated again.  We will also look at how materials can change irreversibly in chemical reactions or by extreme heat.

​We know that as you get older , decoding skills become more automatic so now is the time to focus on vocabulary and understanding. Ask yourself whether you really understand what is going on in the story? If not then you need to spend time discussing it with an adult. That way your comprehension skills will be strengthened too. Make sure that you are taking books home from the correct book band in school. You can discuss this with your teacher.
All of these basic skills are incredibly important as the basis of all you do in school. Don't underestimate them!

OUTDOOR LEARNING SESSIONS
Our use of the forest school area will be restricted this term due to social distancing regulations. However, we will still have dedicated outdoor learning opportunities in our designated space, be that the playground, school field or the forest area. Children should wear their forest school clothes on these days and be prepared for being outside in bad weather with raincoats and suitable footwear. Our forest school session will be on Monday afternoon every other week as follows:
Monday 2nd November
Monday 16th November
Monday 30th November
Monday 14th December

Homework Tasks, Reading & Multiplication Facts

Homework is an important part of school life and should help you to build confidence in key skills. In Year 5 we expect that you will be doing approximately 30 minutes per night. This is included in your regular set work at the moment, not extra!

Currently, our weekly homework schedule is as follows:
TTRockstars should be accessed daily if at all possible.
​KIRF (Key Instant Recall Facts): units for measuring capacity, mass and length.
​

Alongside written tasks, it is essential that you should continue to read at home with an adult at least three times per week. Reading to, and with, others will help you to develop your understanding of the plot and characters of your story and will also help you to discuss the meaning of any new vocabulary that you might come across. 

Daily practice of multiplication tables facts is also very important in year 5 as you're going to need these facts on the tip of your tongue to help you to complete more formal calculations in class. We recommend that you spend 5-10 minutes each morning, possibly after breakfast, practising. There are lots of ways that you can practise: singing, matching cards, writing them down, using a timer to beat your score or using an app on a tablet are all very useful methods. 



Chaddesley Corbett Endowed Primary School is committed to Safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
