Year 5 | Andover Church of England Primary School

Welcome to Year 5

Miss Jones is the Year 5 class teacher. Our learning will also be supported by Mrs Dempsey and Mrs Mildenhall. When Miss Jones is out of class we will be taught by Mrs Juliff.

Our PE days are Mondays and Thursday/Fridays but please ensure you have a PE kit in school all week. Homework will be sent home on Thursdays and is due back again on Tuesdays.

As the year goes on, more will be added to this page. Please browse the Year 5 page to discover some of the fun and exciting activities that we have been up to so far throughout the year.

As some of our families begin to self-isolate we are providing home learning packs which can be downloaded through our class pages.

If you are unable to access the internet at home, please let the office know and we will print and send home a learning pack.

Please note: the most effective work you can be doing with your child are the things that they should already be doing as often as possible.

Reading and recording reading/tasks in their home school book 5x per week minimum
Completing and recording a maths activity in their home school diary 4x per week minimum
Revising Year 3/4 spellings and spelling rules and learning Year 5/6 spellings and spelling rules.
Exploring their world around them- introduce them to new terminology and promote good language skills.

To enable the Year 5 students the opportunity to get a full day's work despite being off school, we have decided to take advantage of the Twinkl website's offer of free access for parents during this time. Please sign up as described below.

This will enable you to access the interactive resources by going onto the Year 5 Overview and clicking on the title e.g. "Guided Reading Picture Activity". Clicking on the text will take you straight to the activity which you can then download. Please do not think you need to print off and hand in every piece of work- if you do not have access to a printer you can still answer questions given on a plain piece of paper. You can even just use these tasks as ideas for learning.

To support teachers and parents whose schools have closed because of the Coronavirus, Twinkl have made their resources free for one month. Go to www.twinkl.co.uk/offer and enter the code UKTWINKLHELPS
