Learning

PSHE

This week during PSHE, we have been learning about the importance of protecting our personal information online and how to evaluate online profiles and the importance of having a positive online identity. 

We will also look at how some people can mask their identity online for good reasons and for bad reasons, and why it is important to only interact with people that they have met in person.

Class Blogs and home learning

Here is the link to the Year 5 blogs. You will find an overview of your child's learning along with their home learning tasks and any important messages from your child's class teacher. 

Please check your child's class blog weekly to stay informed about their learning. 

Please encourage your child to complete their home learning.

Global Citizenship

Events In The World 

You can keep up to date with current events around the world by watching Newsround, an age appropriate news show.  Being aware of current events will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class, and it is an ideal opportunity for you to model discussing your opinions and using experiences to draw connections between events and people.
