Year 5

Welcome to Year 5!

Your year 5 class teachers are Mr Gill and Miss Farquharson with Mrs Samak, Mrs Jandu, Miss Hollingsworth and Mrs Mahmood as supporting staff to make up the Year 5 team!

Our main aim is for each child to achieve their full potential, both academically, and in the development of their character and personal attributes.  We have spent quality time looking at learning behaviours around our ‘Edgewick Learner’ system alongside academic learning.

Please find below some Year 5 expectations:

Reading

The children know how important reading is and we ask that they read each day for a minimum of 20 minutes. We ask parents listen to the children read and record their reading in the reading record.

PE

The children will have PE on THURSDAY afternoons. Children can come to school in their Edgewick PE kit on this day. 

Summer 1: Eco-Warriors!

 

“I have always been that girl in the back who doesn’t say anything. I thought I couldn’t make a difference because I was too small.” — Greta Thunberg. This topic will see Year 5 use their voices to take a political stance on Climate Change. We will become educated on the environmental threats to our world, our local area, and explore how we can make a difference to our future. In Literacy, we will continue to work through the I am a clever writer scheme with a focus on literature all about our planet and being eco-warriors! As well as this, we will be exploring both human and physical geography!  Our passion will be reflected in both art and design and technology, where we will be using textiles to create our own art focused on our Planet and our own pieces that highlight the devastating effect plastic pollution has on our oceans. Around school, we will also take an active role raising awareness of sustainability, recycling and saving energy.

 

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
