However, due to the need to practise for sports day and (hopefully) better weather approaching, the children
may be outdoors during both PE sessions, so please ensure they have both indoor and outdoor PE kits available
in school throughout the week.
RE lessons will continue with the theme of sacred books, focusing on Buddhism. Children will learn about
Buddhist teachings and readings, and understand that much of Buddhist writing is in the form of stories. They
will be encouraged to discuss different ways of delivering a message.
French lessons will focus on food and conversational French, whilst in Music children will investigate different
types of music which inspire contrasting moods (for example, music for exercise, studying, relaxation, etc.),
create their own playlist and sing in unison and in two parts.
As always, parents can have a huge impact on how your child develops both in confidence and
ability by encouraging and supporting them with their homework.
Children have been given a Summer term spellings journal, which includes weekly spellings to
learn. Please encourage your child to practice their spellings at home to ensure they continue
to score highly.
English and Maths homework will also be given on a Friday to be returned the following Thursday, allowing
plenty of time for completion.
Children may also be given a small amount of personal research to carry out or something to bring in to
support their other work in class.
In Year 5 we recommend that children should be reading each night for around 20 25 minutes. Again, we
would encourage your child to do this, as it makes a huge difference in their reading and writing development.
Please can we ask you to consider checking our class pages on the school website, as each week we update
these with examples of the things we do in Year 5, including many photographs of children at work. Feel free
to add a comment!
