Year 5 2018 - 2019

Welcome to Year 5!

Mrs Coulthard, Mrs Ormerod and Mr Whittaker are looking forward to another great year in your journey of learning. 

Year 5 will be going swimming from 12/09/18 every Wednesday. Accrington Academy have requested that all girls in year 5 will be required to bring a swimming cap to the swimming session with them and remove all jewellery including earings. P.E kits will also be needed in school as we are still having our weekly P.E lessons.

Year 5 will be having keyboard music lessons every Monday.

Homework is going to be given out every friday and is expected to be returned by Tuesday every week.

Maths

 Year 5 have also been leaning arithmetic methods which are helping them improve and practise their written methods for calculations. Homework continues to be given with different work sheets on timestables to ensure that they are all comfortable and can work out equations up to x12.
