Home Learning

In Year 5 children will be set a weekly English/Maths task which may be a game or activity.  In addition to this children should be: reading at least 5 times a week and recording this using their VIPERS in their Reading logs; keeping their speed and accuracy up in their Times Tables (on TTRS); practising the current term's KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) and learning their 10 spellings for the weekly test.

Reading Logs and Home Learning Tasks will be checked on a Wednesday. 

Weekly spelling tests will be on a Friday.

Bikeability Level 2 

Following on from the whole class success in Year 4 on Bikeability Level 1, all children will have the opportunity to advance their skills to Level 2.  This will include cycling on the road.

Science Museum, London Visit - March 2027

Building on the successes of the previous three years, all Year 5 will visit the Science Museum in London.  This is a fully funded trip due to the generosity of our friends at the PYE Foundation in Cambridge.  We will visit the Space gallery, Wonderlab and the Flight gallery to support our Year 5 Science themes.  This will be a truly memorable trip, joining with other Year 5 children from across the Trust.
