Croeso i Dosbarth 5.
This term our Topic is ‘The World We Live In’ during which the focus will be on Geography skills and applying Literacy and Numeracy skills across our work.
We will be looking at Snowdonia and the surrounding environmental issues.
Homeworks
As a school we believe homework plays an integral part in the academic development of children whilst also understanding how busy family life can be. therefore, it is essential that we find the correct balance between completing work outside of the school day to reinforce concepts taught in school and the pupils having time to enjoy other interests and spend quality time with their families.
With this in mind we have developed a progressive approach to home school activities that we hope you will support over the coming year.
Spellings
Spelling rules / key words will be handed out every other Friday, to be practiced / completed and then signed by a parent / guardian. Completed sheets are to be returned the following Wednesday.
Home-school Reading
Every Friday (Year 5 on Wednesday) each child will receive a home school reading book that has been chosen by the child with the support of the Class Teacher or Teaching Assistant. The pupils will then read a set number of pages with an adult at home, who will then sign their reading record and comment on their child’s reading. This book must be returned to school the following Friday (Wednesday Year 5) so their new target can be added and book changed if necessary.
MyMaths Online Programme
MyMaths will be continued to be used as an online maths resource that the children have enjoyed. The MyMaths task will be set every other Friday and be expected to complete it by the following Thursday.
Dojos!!
For each short piece of homework completed on time, the pupils will receive a dojo which will go towards their individual total and the school house points system.
Topic research
On occasions the pupils may be asked to complete some research to aid them with their topic work, but this will replace the MyMaths task for that week
PE
Class 5 will be having PE lessons each week on Wednesday and Friday. The pupils will be taking part in athletics sessions during this half term and dance with visits from Theatre Clwyd. Swimming will commence after half term for a ten week period. PE kits are to be black shorts, a plain white tshirt and trainers.
