About Our Class:

In our Year 5 class, we pride ourselves on creating an enriching and engaging learning environment where every child feels valued and supported. We believe that learning should be exciting, challenging, and enjoyable, so we offer a wide variety of experiences designed to inspire curiosity and creativity.

Our lessons include a thoughtful balance of practical, hands-on activities and independent, reflective tasks to ensure that we meet the needs of all learners. Whether we are conducting experiments, working collaboratively on projects, or developing our skills through written tasks, we aim to make every learning opportunity meaningful and memorable.

A key part of our approach is fostering a growth mindset. We encourage children to take on challenges with a positive attitude, knowing that mistakes are a natural and important part of learning. In Year 5, we celebrate effort, perseverance, and resilience, helping every child to grow in confidence and develop a love of learning across all areas of the curriculum.

Most importantly, our classroom is a happy, supportive, and inclusive space where children are motivated to try their best, take pride in their achievements, and learn from every experience. By the end of the year, our goal is for every pupil to feel confident, capable, and excited to continue their learning journey.

PE information: 

Our school P.E. days are Thursdays. Children need to wear their P.E. kits to school on that day. 

Homework:

In Key Stage 2 (KS2), we will send home six project-based tasks linked to the curriculum. This topic homework can be completed at your own pace and submitted upon completion or during the last week of the half term. To encourage participation, students can earn certificates based on the number of tasks they complete: 2 pieces for a Bronze Certificate, 4 for a Silver Certificate and 6 for a Gold Certificate. All certificates will be awarded in class during the final week of the half term.

In addition to the project tasks, children are expected to read regularly at home, at least three times a week, practice their times tables weekly using Times Table Rock Stars, and finally, practice their weekly spellings.
