We hope you enjoy looking at our class page. We will update this regularly throughout the year with photographs of what we have been doing and also with key information which you may find useful. If you have any questions, please contact the class teacher who will be able to help.
In order to give the children the best chance at making sufficient progress this year, homework will be given out weekly. This homework will be related to their learning that week, or it will have a focus on something they’ve previously learned. It is not compulsory for students to complete it, but it will support their learning and will give them the best chance at being fully prepared for year 6. If students are struggling, and you are unable to help them, I am more than happy to go through it with them in the morning.
If you are able to read with your child at home then this will significantly improve their reading performance in school. It is vital children read every day (even if this is only 2 or 3 pages). If you could ask your child a few questions about what they’ve read then they will further develop their reading ability. Please write a note in their reading journals once completed.
Year 5 go swimming on Thursday afternoons. Please watch this video about the weekly visits to Armley Leisure Centre - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VppHXO50IiA&list=PL6stqAOayLwy9CxpIvURAY5AKynv0mbiu&index=5
Year 5 recreated the movement of the Sun, Moon and Earth today in science.
Art / Topic
Today the Year 5’s designed their own Maya masks! The Maya’s wore masks for a variety of reasons such as: going to battle, decorating faces of the dead and attending important events. This links perfectly to our Ancient Maya topic whereby the students will be learning about their daily lives next week.
