Hello and Welcome to Year 5!
In Year 5, we are taught by Mrs Smith, Mrs Stephenson and Mrs Hannah. Mr Curd also supports us in class.
Autumn Term
We are so excited to start the year with our amazing children! Keep an eye on the website to see the wonderful things they produce and the exciting experiences they undertake!
This term, in history, we will be studying the impact of World War Two in Sunderland and we have some exciting lessons and activities planned! We are going to look at how the world is powered in geography and delve into the use of fossil fuels and renewable energy in different countries around the world. In science, we will be learning all about Properties and Changes of Materials and, later in the term, Forces. Our geography topic involves looking at energy and how we power the world. We will look at energy use across the globe and renewable and non-renewable sources too. Our art lessons will be focusing on the work of artist L.S. Lowry. Later in the term, we will be designing and making our own moving toys in DT. We are also very excited for our PE lessons where we are going to be developing our skills in badminton and dance.

Homework
– Maths (TTRS) children know their log ins and are expected to complete at least 30 minutes a week.
– Weekly spelling lists will be given out on a Monday for children to practise for a spelling quiz on Friday.
P.E.
Year 5 P.E will take place on a Wednesday. To participate fully in PE, children will need: a white t-shirt, blue shorts and a pair of plimsolls/ trainers. All jewellery including earrings MUST be removed for P.E lessons.
As the weather improves, we will hopefully be outside more. Please ensure your child has trainers and their school PE kit.
Home Reader
It is expected for children to read at home at least 3 times a week and get their book signed. Children should return their book and parent book to school daily, so they have the opportunity to read with adults in school. When children have completed a book, they will be able to complete a quiz in school based on the book they have read. These results will be recorded in your child’s home reader. Points and prizes will be awarded for completing quizzes.
Children have an Accelerated Reader password and user name. Use this link to access the quizzes!
