• Poetry by heart

Welcome to the new school year, Class 5 pupils and parents! 

We are all very excited about being back in the classroom with you, and we have planned some excellent and interesting learning for you all. 

We will begin with a reflective look at the Paralympics, before diving back in time to pre-history, to learn about life in the Stone Age. This will give us opportunities to be outside, enjoying the autumn weather and the changing seasons.  

In science, we will be learning about life cycles of mammals, and the changing environment over time, before moving on to learn about classification systems. 

Before half term, we will start our local history work, learning about the Victorian period in Wilmslow, including walking with Class 4 to Styal and visiting the mill and the Apprentice House.  

PE will be on Mondays and Fridays; please be sure to bring your washed PE kit in each Monday morning.  (There may be running on Mondays or Fridays.)

Music will be on Tuesdays, including brass lessons for Year 5 pupils up to Christmas.  

We hope to be able to restart a full range of after school clubs, and to organise activities for younger children at lunchtimes this term too, which will be lovely. 

Homework will be uploaded to the website and given out in homework folders on Fridays, and must be handed in or uploaded to the website by Wednesday of the following week. It will include a page of maths practice every week, an expectation of daily reading at home, and usually a research task linked to work we are doing the following week in class.   

We look forward to meeting parents at the 'Meet the Teacher' evening in a few weeks.

If you have any concerns at any time, or are worried about anything, please do not hesitate to contact one of us, either after school, or by email.
