ST WILFRID'S CATHOLIC PRIMARY

Year 5 2024 - 2025

Mrs Harkness

Welcome to Year 5!

Mrs Harkness teaches Year 5, alongside Mrs Owen, who will teach the class on a Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. 

Our RE focus this half term is Other Faiths. We will be learning about what the Church teaches us about other faiths as well as learning more about our own faith.

This half term, we are starting to learn about the Maya civilization in History.

Our Science unit this half term is Reproduction in plants and humans. 

PE sessions will take place on Wednedays and Fridays. We will be focusing on rounders and sports day practice this half term.  Remember the children come dressed in their PE kit on those days.

In English we are studying the book The Hunter by Paul Geraghty.  

Homework

Homework for both Maths and SPAG,  Reading will be given out on a Friday and expected to be completed and in school for the following Friday ready to mark.

The children will be learning new spelling rules weekly.  Although there will be no formal spelling test, the children will be given opportunities in school to practise their spellings and to apply new spelling rules to their writing. 

 

Children are expected to read out loud to an adult and be questioned on the text 4 times a week. This will be recorded in the children's diary and checked every week. The children will continue to bring their diaries and reading books home every day. Thank you for hearing them read and discussing the text with them - we really do appreciate your support.
