Curriculum

Children are assessed regularly, at the end of topics and each term
which gives progress measures. Along side teacher assessment,
these progress measures aid in providing information to parents to
explain how your child/children are progressing – this feedback is
given at parents evenings that are scheduled during the school year.

Year 5 Curriculum:

Topics:
Autumn: WWII
Reading material: Friend of Foe by Sir Michael Morpurgo

Spring: Amazing Americas
Reading material: Journey to the River Sea by Eva Ibbotson

Homework:

As children get older, they will increasingly take responsibility for their own
work and home learning tasks. That’s not to say that parents can’t help
though. Encourage your child to work independently on their home learning,
but also take the opportunity to discuss it with them and to have them
explain their understanding to you.

Homework – Online Platforms:

• Encourage your children to use these platforms not only for completing
homework but also for extra study. There are games and lessons available
on Spelling Shed and Mathletics.

• Please encourage your child to read. If you are unsure of what books suit
your child’s reading age Accelerated Reader has a book finder capability.
