  • Year 5

    Welcome to Year 5!

    Teacher Name: Miss Doherty

    Teaching Assistant(s): Mrs Edwards

    We’re looking forward to an exciting term full of learning, creativity and new challenges.

    This term we will be looking at the Tudors in history, tag rugby during PE, Space in Science, how to keep safe online in our Computing lessons, as well as developing our skills in Maths, Reading and more!

    We can’t wait to see the children develop over this school year and have lots of fun doing it!

     

    Class Routines:

    PE days: Monday and Tuesday. Children should wear their PE kit to school. Currently, the children are going swimming on Monday so they should bring their swimming kit. 

    It is vital that children bring a water bottle filled with water only every day; these can be refilled throughout the day.

     

    Homework / Spellings:

    Homework will be given out on a Monday and should be returned on a Friday.

    • A spelling practice sheet
    • A maths worksheet linked to our current learning
    • Daily reading (at least 10–15 minutes each evening)
    • Times Tables Rock Stars (TT Rockstars) practice

     

    Key Dates:

    Half term- 16th February to 20th February 2026
