Welcome to Year 5 Coral

Welcome to Year 5 Coral

Hello and welcome to Year 5 Coral's page.  My name is Mr McGhee and I am the class teacher.  Year 5 is full of exciting opportunities and events including swimming lessons at Middleton Arena.  The children will have the opportunity to represent the school in sporting competitions and other events across schools in the area. Our main objective is to ensure your child meets their full potential and grows in self-assurance throughout the year.

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.

Homework

Children should have their reading book in school every day and should be reading at home on a daily basis. It is important that your child is doing this as this will have an impact on their writing and other subjects in school. Children will receive their homework on a Monday and this should be returned to school by Friday.  Again, it is extremely important that your child is doing their homework every week. Times tables (including division facts) should be secure by the end of year 4 so this will be a priority for those children who do not know theirs. Please allow your children to log on to Times Tables Rock Stars regularly so that they can be involved in the competitions and the battles we create against other classes. The children thoroughly enjoy taking part in the competitive aspect of the website and they are improving their times tables skills at the same time.

 

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.
