Year 5
Welcome to Year 5
Welcome to our Year 5 Class Page, here you will find all the information relevant to our lovely Year 5 class at Woodchurch C of E Primary School. For further information, please see the rest of the school website.
PE
PE is every Tuesday in Year 5. Parents should make sure children’s earrings are taken out or covered with tape. Children should come into school in their PE kit on these days.
Homework
In Year 5, new homework goes live on Spelling Shed on a Wednesday and is linked to the spelling session that is completed in class that week.
Pupils should also aim to spend at least 20 minutes a week on TTRockstars in the garage arena.
What does reading look like in Year 5?
In KS2, we do not engage in daily 1:1 reading with the children. Instead, during our reading workshop sessions, the children will have the opportunity to read a variety of new and unfamiliar texts with their class teacher.
During our Reading Workshop sessions, we not only read the new text, we learn how to analyse and pick apart the text. We look at new and unfamiliar vocabulary and explore the language that is being used. Children also have the chance to hone their comprehension skills as we begin to answer questions relating to the text.
