Learning

PSHE

This week during PSHE, we have been learning about intelligent disobedience which is knowing when NOT to listen to an adult. Sounds strange, but this lesson teaches children how to recognise dangers and how to keep themselves safe. 

PE  - Year 5 curriculum

Important reminder! All students will be learning Teeball need football boots are required for this unit !

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.

  • Individual treats can be brought into school with your child in the morning.
  • Please agree a time with the teacher in advance.
  • Children will be expected to eat any birthday treats outside of classrooms.
  • Parents can join in the celebrations.
