Year 5 - Birch Class 24/25
Out of this World!
During Autumn term, Year 5 will describe the movement of the Earth, and other plants, relative to the Sun in the solar system. We will explore the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth. We will use the idea of the Earth's rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky. In Art, we will explore the work of space artist, Peter Thorpe. In Geography, we will be learning about the key aspects of mountains and the water cycle.

Key Documents for Parents
Reading - children are expected to read at least 4 times per week. You can help by asking your child about what s/he is reading. Reading record to be signed by parent/carer. Records are checked in class every Friday ready for Celebration Assembly.
Let's get 100% reads every week!
Spelling - new spellings are sent home every Friday, which are to be practised at home in your Spelling book. We will test a number of these spellings through a spelling dictation on a Friday. Spelling records will need to be in school on a Friday to be checked and new spellings to be put in.
Times Tables - In Year 5, we hope that pupils will be fluent in all times tables and division facts up to 12 x 12. We advise regular practise using 'Hit the Button' at home.
Homework grid - Please see the homework grid in the file list with a variety of topic-based activities. You should complete 4 of these each term, these can be handed in whenever they are completed.
