Key Stage 2 - Bears (Year 5) 2020 - 2021

Hi all of our little bear cubs and welcome to our class page. 

Mrs Eaton, Mrs Healey and I are so excited for our year ahead with you all. We have already been so impressed with how well you have settled back into school and we can't wait to see more of your super work! 

I have included some key information for Autumn 1 which you will need to know and an outline of what we will be learning about this half term.

Spellings this week

Spellings will be given out every Monday via the Class Dojo page. Please practice these at home as you will be tested on these in school on a Friday morning.

Group 1

Group 2

English

In English, this half term, the first text that we will be focusing is 'Where the forest meets the sea'. Throughout this text you will develop many of your wriitng skills and work towards the following mastery keys:

  Build a varied and rich vocabulary.

 Propose changes to grammar and vocabulary to improve consistency, including the accurate use of pronouns in sentences.

 Use paragraphs to organise information and ideas around a theme.

 Indicate possession by using the possessive apostrophe with plural nouns.

 Recognise the grammatical difference between plural and possessive‘s’

Maths

The first area of maths that we are focusing on this half term is decimals. This will further develop your understnding of place value and will help you to understand numbers in everyday life - such as money and weight.

PE

For this half term our PE day is a Thursday and our focus will be hockey. 

Remember, on your PE day, you should come to school wearing your PE kit for the entire day. As our PE sessions will be outside, we recommend that you wear a suitable outdoor PE kit.
