Year 5
Term 4–2025
To support your child, please ensure frequent practice of times tables, spellings using Spelling Shed and reading with your children at least three times a week. Please get them to read aloud to support fluency and expression.
With British weather and school life being subject to change, please ensure PE kits are always in school so that we can adapt the timetable when necessary. We will have two PE sessions a week: Tag Rugby on a Tuesday and then Swimming on a Thursday.
On the right, you will see a folder containing most of our subject organisers for this term. These will help you have conversations with your children about their learning as well as support their recall and retention of new vocabulary. Maths and English subject organisers will be added as we move through the topics.
Maths:
It is hugely important that your child knows their multiplication and division facts up to 12 x 12. We will be focusing on the how and the why and our fluency facts. This will support us to reduce our mental workload. Knowing these facts will support your child and ensure that they are able to see the links within their maths knowledge. You can find support to complete your home learning tasks in our Maths curriculum area, where it shows you the methods we use to teach the different skills we have taught throughout the week.
Jigsaw:
In this Puzzle, the children investigate the risks associated with smoking and how it affects the lungs, liver and heart. Likewise, they learn about the risks associated with alcohol misuse. They are taught a range of basic first aid and emergency procedures (including the recovery position) and learn how to contact the emergency services when needed. The children investigate how body types are portrayed in the media, social media and celebrity culture. They also learn about eating disorders and people’s relationships with food and how this can be linked to negative body image pressures.
