Year 5 2019-2020

 Welcome back, I hope you and the children have had a restful half term.

This half term in literacy we will be tying in our space topic into our writing. We will be exploring the vocabulary and structure of a recount and producing our own. We will also be looking at the text ‘Aliens landing’. We will also be creating a short story focussing on new vocabulary and suspense writing.

In Numeracy we will be focussing on multiplication and division.

Our new topics this half term are rivers and mountains and Space. We are hoping this half term to have a class trip to Jodrell Bank. It will be a fabulous opportunity and one that I feel the children will greatly benefit from.

Once again, I must reiterate the importance of reading, this not only develops a love of reading but also develops imagination which is essential for story writing. Please wherever possible encourage your child to read at home and bring their Home reading and library books back into school when they are ready to change them. Keep checking our new website for updates about new library books

As I mentioned before, we are wanting to inspire a love of reading if your child is not enjoying their school book and prefers to read a book of their own please just make a note in the reading book journal so that the children can be rewarded for reading for pleasure.

Kind regards    Mrs K Taylor.
