5K-The Olympians

'Education is one thing no one can take away from you.'

Welcome to our class page!

In 5K, we uphold the Cherry Fold ethos of Enjoy, Respect and Succeed throughout all aspects of school life in our calm and nurturing learning environment. Together, we will combine hard work with lots of fun, empowering us to become confident, passionate and successful learners.

We follow a theme based curriculum; this term will involve some fantastic topics such as becoming geographers by studying the British Isles, historians by looking at life during World War 1. In science, we will be working scientifically by studying forces. In PSHE, our topic is 'Me and My Relationships' and in RE, we will be looking at Christianity - God.

See our full curriculum below.

 

Please make sure you are connected to both Class Dojo and Parentmail so you don't miss out on any updates from school - these include after school clubs. Finally, please do not hesitate to contact me with any problems or concerns you may be experiencing. You can message on Class Dojo or make an appointment at the school office.

 

We are looking forward to a busy Autumn term where we are continuing to strive to be the best we can be!

Reading

Children will have a reading book chosen by themselves appropriate to their ZPD reading level.

Accompanying these books are their reading diaries, where we encourage you to write comments on their reading.

Your child will also be given many opportunities throughout the week to read a variety of texts and will then undertake an online quiz to assess their understanding of the text.

Please could I ask that you support your child’s reading progress by listening to them read 2-3 times a week.

Homework

In Year 5, children are expected to complete times tables and spelling practise for homework.

Please encourage your children to complete homework regularly as this will support learning in English and Maths.

Please ask if you require these details again.

Please see below for the weekly list of words for this Autumn term.

Debt Aware

In year 5 we will be participating in the debt aware programme which is designed to:

  • develop in young people a sound and sensible attitude towards money
  • provide them with a basic knowledge and understanding of finances, thereby providing a
    route to financial autonomy
  • enable them to make sound financial decisions
  • raise awareness in young people of the importance of planning for the future
