Year 5
Our Curriculum
We cover a range of interesting topics across the school year. The yearly overview provided gives an insight to some of the activities your child will be participating in and experiencing each term.
Class Information and Homework
PE Lessons
We have PE lessons twice a week so please ensure your child has their P.E. kit in school at the beginning of each week and it is named.
Reading
At Wingate Primary School, we aim to foster a love of reading and to increase exposure to different types of texts. Through regular whole class reading, we aim to develop our fluency and comprehension skills.
We encourage the use of Reading Plus and Bug Club for children to access a range of different texts at home as well as in school. At the end of each school day we have Dream Time, where we read a text which is chosen by the class.
Maths
Children are encouraged to use Times Tables Rock Stars regularly at home with a weekly target of around 20 minutes to build speed, accuracy and confidence. This is to maintain multiplication fluency which will be vital in supporting children within Year 5 and Year 6 content. Children will complete daily maths arithmetic activities covering a variety of topics to prepare them for Year 6.
Homework
Homework in Year 5 is accessed and completed via online activities which are monitored by the classroom teacher on a weekly basis. Children are set a reading activity on Reading Plus (site code RPWINGA1), spellings activity on EdShed and children are still expected to access and complete 21 minutes per week of Times Tables Rock Stars. Please speak to your child to ensure their homework has been completed. Year 5 children who have not completed homework will attend a lunchtime homework club on a Friday. If you have any questions about our homework, please speak to your child’s class teacher.
