Welcome to Year 5

Mr Hughes

Welcome back to the Autumn Term and I hope you have had a lovely, relaxing holiday. At school we are really looking forward to welcoming the children back to school and hearing all about their adventures and activities during the Summer break.

During the year please keep checking the website to see the exciting learning the children have been taking part in during our first half term together!

Reminders:

PE will be swimming, starting on Monday 8th September at Ilkley Lido. These lessons will continue until February half-term. Our second PE lesson, will be on Wednesdays in school.

Homework will be set each Friday. The children will have individual logins for both,                 TT Rockstars and Spelling Shed.  

This is the weekly timetable for Year 5 for the academic year 2025-2026. This timetable on occasion maybe subject to change depending upon school events. 

The Autumn Overview shows the areas of study the children will be completing during this time. There will be more detail within Year 5's Autumn newsletter. 

In Year 5, our Maths Curriculum follows the White Rose programme. Within each area of learning there are progressive small steps. This is the yearly overview of the areas of study.

The Year 5 objectives which will be taught throughout the year are highlighted below. The children will learn these objectives and demonstrate their knowledge across the curriculum. 

In Year 5, we follow the Spelling Shed scheme of work as well as teach the statutory spellings. Listed below is the yearly overview for Spelling Shed, which will highlight the weekly spellings.  The spellings will be set each week using the Spelling Shed app for practise purposes and then the children will take a short test in school. 

To complement our Spelling Shed scheme of work the children will also learn the Year 5 and 6 Statutory Spellings, which are listed below. The children will also receive their own copy of these spellings.
