Rainbow Fish – Year 5/Blwyddyn 5
Croeso i’r dosbarth Rainbow Fish
Our Topic
Our topic this term is We’ll Meet Again. The children have already had some ideas about what they would like to learn about, all based on World War II and the teachers are looking forward to teaching you all about this interesting time in our history. We are going to start off by looking at why the war started and who was involved. Then we will be looking how the lives of people in Britain were affected.
Home Learning
Here is the link for the home learning menu for the Summer term. The children can choose which task they would like to do in any order). There are some extra sheets if you wish to do the Science and Technology homework.
The children are able to submit work electronically via Google Classroom or bring it into school every fortnight.
The home learning will be celebrated in class and displayed for the term, before being returned home for safe keeping.
In addition, there will be extra Maths homework added to Abacus to help secure understanding of classwork and enable further progression.

Spelling and Times Tables
Spellings and Times Table test will be every Friday. Spellings will be available here on the website and in our Year 5 google classroom. Please practice as much as you can, here are some ideas how you can practice:
The children will have a paper copy of the spelling words in their reading diaries.
Children can also practise their times tables on TT Rockstars or on ‘Hit the Button’ on the Topmarks website. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
If you forget which spelling/times table group you are, please contact Mrs Dolbear.
P.E & Outdoor learning
P.E. lessons will be on Thursdays. You MUST wear your PE kit into school on this day.
We will be doing more outdoor learning as the term goes on and . Please make sure you always wear a coat to school and appropriate footwear or hat and sun-cream as the weather improves (hopefully)! Our Coed Cadno time is on a Friday afternoon.
Reading
We would like to emphasise the importance of regular reading at home. This can be with a grown up or individually, read out loud or in their head. If you can’t find your niche of books you like to read, why not try a comic style book?
The class will take part in Guided Reading and have opportunities to read independently throughout the day. We also endeavour to enjoy a 20-minute class reading session at the end of every day. We read a range of Welsh texts throughout the term too. Please remember your reading book every day, or you may use books from our school library.
If mums and dads have any concerns or worries feel free to contact the school office by email, and we will respond as soon as we can.
Diolch,
The Year 5 Rainbow Fish team.
