Spelling

There will be a new spelling list each week. This will be linked to a

new rule we are looking at.

E.g. symbol the ‘i’ sound written as a y.

Spellings will sometimes be sent home for home learning, but not

always.

Spelling Learning Sequence:

Some Year 5 English Expectations:

Reading: in writing narratives, considering how authors have developed

characters and settings in what pupils have read, listened to or seen

performed

Writing: ensuring correct subject and verb agreement when using singular

and plural, distinguishing between the language of speech and writing

and choosing the appropriate register

SPaG: Year 5/6 Spelling list; semicolons, relative clauses, modal verbs,

passive verbs and much more.

Mathematics

The new curriculum aims to develop ‘deep learning’. This means spending

more time on fewer topics.

Children should now develop their understanding of their year group’s

objectives rather than move onto the next year’s objectives.

Mathematics

Fluency: in the fundamentals of mathematics,

through varied and frequent practise with

increasingly complex concepts over time.

Reasoning: developing an argument, justification

or proof using mathematical language.

Problem solving: applying their mathematics to a range of problems with increasing sophistication.

The curriculum emphasises ‘mastery’ in one method rather than an awareness of lots of different

strategies.

Addition:

Column Method

Subtraction:

Column Method

Calculations

Multiplication:

Short Multiplication Long Multiplication

Division:

Some Year 5 Maths Objectives

Read Roman numerals to 1000 (M) and recognise years written in Roman numerals.

Know and use vocabulary of prime numbers, prime factors and composite (non-prime) numbers; establish whether a number up to 100 is prime and recall prime numbers up to 19.

Recognise cube numbers and the notation.

Multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers.

Example Questions for Fractions

Fluency Reasoning Problem Solving

Attainment

Emerging: working towards the expected standard for their year group.

Expected: working at the expected standard for their year group.

Exceeding: working above and beyond the expectations for their year group.

Growth Mindset

How important are you?

REALLY IMPORTANT!

Parents/Carers are the greatest teachers.

What can you do to help?

➢ Read and discuss books with your child regularly. The Reading Race!

Some good questions to ask when reading:

What do you think might happen next? Can you summarise what’s happened so far?

What does (specific word) mean? What have you enjoyed so far?

What are the similarities between this book and the book we’ve just read?

➢ Practise times tables and division facts.

➢ Get children to reason their maths answers. How have you got that answer? How do you know?

➢ Bring maths to life! Let children see maths in the real world: money, weight/mass, measuring etc

➢ Ensure children are completing home learning. Given out on Thursday, return on Tuesday.

➢ Make sure you bring your children to school!

Any Questions?

I have an open door policy. Any questions or concerns

at any time, feel free to chat to me at the start or end

of the day.

Let’s work together to make your children the best

version of themselves!
