Class Saint 

Year 5 have chosen Saint John as their Class Saint.

RE

The Virtues & Values this half term are ‘Compassionate and Loving’ and the Catholic Social Principle is ‘Stewardship’, both linking beautifully to our Religious Education lessons.

 

This autumn, we will be learning through the overarching branch, ‘Creation and Covenant’, listening to, learning from and reflecting upon the story of Creation.

 

We will also introduce our class saint, Saint John Bosco who will help us to better understand the Catholic Social Teaching Principle of family, community and participation through example and guidance this year.

 

Class Text

PE

This half term, year 5 will be working on their basketball skills in P.E. These lessons aim to be on a Friday, however, weather is assessed and sometimes the day changes to ensure we have a PE lesson.  We also have dance with Mr Case on a Thursday. Their P.E kit must be in school Monday-Friday. PE kit must comply with the uniform policy.

Homework Expectations

Children will continue to receive daily Maths and Literacy homework, which is to be completed each night. On Thursdays, children will receive one piece of either Maths or English homework plus one piece of homework linked to a foundation subject (Art, Science, MFL, Computing, Music, Geography, History etc). This will be due in on the following Monday.

 

Reading- We strongly encourage children to read at least 3 times a week at home. Reading underpins the whole curriculum and so is vital to children’s success. We encourage children to read a range of fiction and non-fiction texts to encourage stamina and also reading for pleasure. It is fine for children to read about topics that they are interested in and also books from home as long as they also read their Accelerated Reading books. This is so that they can take quizzes to acquire points towards their reading targets. Children who read at least 3 times a week, every week will be rewarded at the end of term. Each class will also be selecting a ‘Reader of the Week’, which will be awarded in celebration assemblies on a Friday.
