Welcome to Year 5 Coral
My name is Miss Lewis and I am the class teacher for Year 5 Coral. I will be supported this year by Mrs. McMahon and Miss Hoolican. We are all really looking forward to working with the children throughout the year and watching them achieve their full potential. Below you will find useful information including our weekly timetable, homework expectations and curriculum overviews.
On this page you will find information including the weekly timetable, the interesting topics we will be covering and any other key information. The links below will take you to the Year 5 newsletters and curriculum overviews for each subject.
Our Weekly Timetable

Homework
Homework will be set each week to reinforce the learning taking place in class. It will be sent home on a Friday. Children are expected to practise their weekly spellings using the Look, Cover, Write, Check method, complete the related handwriting activity, a reading comprehension task and one or two pages from their maths workbook, as directed by the class teacher. Children should also read at home every day, with an adult signing their reading record regularly. Please encourage your child to complete their homework carefully, neatly and to the best of their ability, and return it to school by Thursday.

Year 5 Curriculum Overview
We have used the national curriculum and our expertise to map out a broad, balanced, creative and coherent curriculum. We believe our curriculum empowers our pupils to access and develop their knowledge, skills, attitudes and dispositions to enable them to become well-rounded citizens who take with them a life-long love of learning.
