Year 5

Welcome to the Class 5 webpage! Here you will find your homework, spellings and information about all the exciting learning happening this year.

This half term, in English we are reading The Queen of the Falls by Chris Van Allsburg and our reading class text is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. In Science, we are exploring mixtures and separation, while in History our focus is on the Vikings.

This week, the children thoroughly enjoyed exploring coding on the Code.org website. They were so enthusiastic that many asked to continue practising their coding skills at home!

To do this, they can visit https://code.org/en-US and select “New Project”, where they’ll be able to create and code their own characters. It’s wonderful to see their excitement and creativity shining through!

Warner Bros. Studio Trip – Thursday 16th October

We are excited for our upcoming trip to the Warner Bros. Studio on Thursday 16th October!

Important information for the day:

• Uniform: All children should wear their full school uniform.

• Weather: Please send a light rain jacket, as part of the day will be spent outdoors.

• Lunch:

  • Children should bring a packed lunch in disposable packaging (so they don’t have to carry containers afterwards).

  • No nuts, please, due to allergies.

  • Kindly avoid packing oranges, as the smell can trigger my allergy.

• Arrival time: Children need to arrive at school by 8:15am so we can depart promptly at 8:30am.

• Travel sickness: If your child suffers from travel sickness, please inform us in advance so we can arrange appropriate seating on the coach.

• Bags: Children should bring a light backpack to carry their lunch, water bottle, and to store their coat or jumper. They will need to keep their belongings with them throughout the day.

We’re looking forward to an exciting and magical trip!
