Essential information for the 2024 / 25 year...
- PE days are Monday & Thursday. Children to come to school in their PE kits on those days. Please remember to also wear a school jumper / cardigan on top as PE tops can only be worn during the PE lesson (not throughout the day).
- No equipment / pencil cases are needed from home - children will be given all the equipment that they need and a new pencil case at the start of the year.
- Class and school books should go between home and school each day (using the plastic wallet provided) so that children can be supported with reading at home and at school.
- Homework will be given out every Thursday (spelling should be done in books or online) to be completed and handed back in for the following Wednesday. There will be a test on spellings on the Wednesday. There is no homework for this week due to the Castleton trip so we wish you all a calm and restful Easter break.
Spring Term 2 in Year 5
This half-term our topic is Geography-based. We will be learning about Ordnance Survey maps and investigating the symbols and grid references used on these. Below is our knowledge organiser to support the learning and it is also available to download from the bottom of the page. If you can support your child to learn this key knowledge, that would be great. They will also have a copy of this knowledge organiser in their homework books.
Get in contact with us!
Should you need to contact us about your child and their learning, please use the year 5 email address year5-teachers@heymann.notts.sch.uk - please note that we will try to check these emails two or three times a week and respond when we are able to. If you need to contact school about a more urgent matter, please contact the office as usual.
PE
PE days are Monday and Thursday. Children to come to school in their PE kits on those days or bring their swimming kit if relevant. Please remember to also wear a school jumper / cardigan on top as PE tops can only be worn during the PE lesson (not throughout the day).
Homework
Each week, children will be given a list of spellings to learn plus a task to complete with these words. They will also be expected to use Spelling Shed to practise these words. In addition, there will be a weekly task to complete online or on a sheet. Some weeks there will also be additional topic homework in order to enhance their learning in areas like art, history or geography.
Please support your child in completing homework and returning their homework book on time each week.
Homework will be set every Thursday and should be completed and handed in by the following Wednesday.
Children should continue to use Times Tables Rock Stars regularly to keep their recall of times tables sharp. We will check their progress on this regularly and celebrate successes whenever we can.
Our modern foreign language focus is Spanish and we attach the Knowledge Organiser for this term, which will also be sent home in their homework books. If you are able to quiz your child on this at home, that would be a great way to supplement their learning in school.
Handwriting Practice
We will be having focused handwriting sessions in school to aid the children in their learning of this key skill. Any support you can provide at home is much appreciated.
