Welcome to Class 15!
Class 15 is made up of 36 wonderful Year 5 students. Our class teachers are Mrs Lumb and Mrs Blakemore and we are lucky enough to have the support of Mrs Ellis as well.
Mrs Lumb
Mrs Blakemore
Mrs Ellis
During the Autumn term, our first topic will be a whole-school project based around the Paralympics in Paris. This will be followed by our Year 5 topic ‘The Miracle of Medicine’ which will focus on learning about medicine through time. This will begin with the Ancient Greeks followed by some of the gruesome remedies of the Middle Ages right up to modern medical breakthroughs and the creation of the NHS. In English we will be reading Pig Heart Boy by Malorie Blackman which focuses on Xenotransplantation.
If you have any questions or concerns, the best time to catch us is after school or via our year group email – THPYear5@nclt.ac.uk
Homework
Homework will be set on Doodle Learning every Friday: this will be alternate between maths and English and will support work being taught in class. This should be completed by the following Friday. There will also be weekly spellings which will be tested the following Friday.
Reading
We will be continuing to use the new planners to record both home reading, as well as reading with an adult in school. These should be taken to and from school every day. Remember that for every 3 times you read in a week, you will get a reading reward ticket and for reading 4 times or more, you will get 2 tickets! As a class, we are set a target (250!) for the number of reading tokens that we need to earn each half term. If we meet it, then the whole class get to enjoy a reward.
Curriculum Booklets
