Year 5

Hello and welcome to Year 5! I’m Miss Elvy, and I’m really excited to begin this new school year with you. Some of you might remember me from earlier in your school journey, and it’s lovely to be working with you again – and to welcome lots of new faces to the class too. I’m really looking forward to getting to know everyone better as we start this exciting year together. We’ll also be joined at times by Mrs Mizon, who will be supporting our learning in class.

We have a busy and brilliant autumn term ahead. One of the highlights will be our swimming lessons, where we’ll build on the confidence and skills developed in Year 4. In maths, we’ll be working through key topics including number and place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and perimeter and area – all helping to strengthen your understanding and problem-solving abilities.

Our English lessons will be guided by the Literacy Tree, and we’ll be exploring two fantastic texts this term: Robot Girl and Hidden Figures. These books will inspire a variety of writing, including a non-chronological report and an engaging narrative, allowing us to develop both factual and creative writing skills.

There’s so much to look forward to this year – new learning, exciting challenges, and plenty of opportunities to shine. Let’s make Year 5 a year to remember!
