Welcome to Year Five with Mrs Needham and Mrs Stirrup!
Ferdinand Magellan
This half term in History, we are learning all about Ferdinand Magellan, an explorer from Portugal.
Magellan's ships explored the Pacific Ocean and were the first to circumnavigate around the world. .
Swimming
We are swimming every Friday afternoon. Please ensure children come with their swimming kit (full costume for girls and swimming shorts for boys) and a towel. Long hair should be tied back and all jewellery should be removed.
P.E
Our P.E day will be every Wednesday afternoon.
Please ensure children bring their full P.E kit at the beginning of term to change at school. They will bring their kit home at the end of each term.
Homework
Each week, spellings will be sent out via Ping. We expect that the children practise their spellings each night. Spellings will be tested the following Monday.
Children have their log-ins for Times Tables Rockstars and they should log on for 10 minutes each day.
Reading books will be sent home each day with the children. We expect that the children read for at least 10 minutes a day at home.
Please ensure you are signing your child’s homework book daily when they have read, practised their spellings and accessed Times Tables Rockstars.
