Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back! We hope you and your children had a wonderful and restful break together after an action-packed Term 2 learning about perception in our Discovery unit ‘What’s the Big Idea?’
We are now embarking on Term 3, which looks set to be equally as busy and fun filled as the last term.
In Discovery this term, the children will develop an understanding of different cultures and backgrounds, as well as an understanding of the impact of discrimination on individuals and communities. In line with this, we will be exploring the texts Varmints and Glitter Boy.Â
The Learning for Life curriculum, which focuses on promoting the health and wellbeing of our pupils, has been taught throughout the academic year. During Term 3, we will be teaching the Relationships and Sexual Education (RSE) element. Specific information about this will be shared in a separate Hub bulletin.
Please continue to discuss your child’s learning with them. Much of their work is recorded within their Google Drive, Classroom and on Seesaw.
With regard to homework, we will be continuing with our regular system and schedule of:
- All homework is set on Google Classroom/Seesaw on a Friday, to be completed for the following Friday. This consists of Maths, Discovery or English, and Spelling.Â
- Reading each night. The children are to record the title of their book and the pages that they read in their diaries on a daily basis. Please can you, as parents, sign this too.
Please find the Year 5Â Term 3 key dates linked HERE.
For more information regarding Year 5 for the academic year 2024–25, please refer to the linked Welcome to Year 5 booklet and the KS2 Curriculum Handbook, which can also be located via the Hub.
