Welcome to Year 5

from

Mrs Whiteside, Mrs Button and Mrs Rice!

We hope that you all have had a great weekend and are ready for our first week of home learning.

Everything that you need is on the weekly planner in the Files to Download section - it's called Week 1 - home learning. Whether you're working from home or in school we'll all be working on the same topic this week: My Family. There are lots of different activities to explore over the course of the week and lots of different ways to enjoy learning about new things.

Remember to get lots of fresh air and excercise - and keep smiling!

Class Five Responsibilities

Class Five will receive spellings on a Friday allowing them to practice for their spelling test on the following Friday.The back of the spelling sheet now includes a place for children to look up and write down the meaning of each word. The completed spelling sheet must be returned to school on Friday mornings.

Children are encouraged to be prepared for each day of school life. P.E. is on a Wednesday and a Thursday. On P.E.days children should come to school wearing their P.E. kit with joggers or shorts , a sweatshirt and trainers.

St. Jerome's has access to a brilliant online software package called Purple Mash. The children's user names and passwords remain the same and this can still be accessed from home.

Enter your details and you should be taken straight to the home page. Here the children can access all the content which covers the entire curriculum. The children are encouraged to use whatever activities they wish and save their work which on approval could be placed on our Class Five Display Board.

The software will be used for homework at different times throughout the year.

Maths web links

Here are a number of links which will be extremely useful for your child concerning Maths. Including websites that we currently use for homework throughout the year.
