Reading for Pleasure in Y5

We love to read in Year Five.

Our book for the Autumn term is:

The Explorer: WINNER OF THE COSTA CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD Fred, Con, Lila, and Max are on their way back to England from Manaus when the plane they're on crashes and the pilot dies upon landing. For days, they survive alone, until Fred finds a map that leads them to a ruined city, and to a secret.

Our first book this term is:

During the Autumn term will also read this fabulous adventure set in India:

Asha and the Spirit Bird by Jasbinder Bilan

Highly evocative of rural India and the spiritual traditions and beliefs of the region, Asha and the Spirit Bird sends a determined young girl on a Himalayan adventure, with only her best friend and the spirit animal of her grandmother for company.

The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

PE

This half term PE will be on a Tuesday and a Wednesday. Please remember to wear your full named kit to school. Just a reminder that your child should wear navy or black plain bottoms please and plain navy hoodie or school jumper/cardigan.

YEAR 5 HOMEWORK

Reading

Regular reading is vital to becoming a lifelong learner. Read at least 3 times per week with your child and complete an Accelerated reading quiz when you finish a book.

Home work tasks

We will alternate between maths, www.sumdog.com and English www.spag.com for our homework tasks.

Don't forget to photograph and upload onto SeeSaw.

Continue to learn your times tables

Sumdog

The children have been given Log-in information to access Sumdog.com at home and school.

This resource is lots of fun and will help to improve the children's mathematical knowledge and improve rapid recall of their times tables.

BBC Supermovers

We will be using BBC Supermovers to help us learn and consolidate our knowledge of times tables. The children will have lots of fun practising their tables along with perfecting some interesting moves....!

There are other programmes to use on this website which relate purely to KS2, English, Mathematics, PSHE too.
