Welcome to Year 5

September 23

Dear Parents/ Carers,

 Welcome back, I hope you and the children have enjoyed a lovely summer break.

• Our topic this half term is 'Crime and Punishment' whilst in Science we will be exploring Forces in Action. 
• We will be participating in swimming lessons on a Wednesday, so we would be grateful if you could ensure that your children have a complete swimming kit, including a swimming cap, on this day. 
• PE will be every Monday; therefore, we would be grateful if children could be sent in their PE kits on this day. 
• Please encourage your child to read at home and as much as possible, engage with the Bug Club and Sora apps they have access to. We encourage a love of reading both inside and outside the classroom. If you have any questions, or require any information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me via my email address, lauren.kaufman@st-marymagdalens.lancs.sch.uk.

Home learning tasks such as weekly spellings, times-tables and other activities can be found on each child's Home Learning Page. To access this your children will need to login to the school website every school day. Children can access allocated reading books through Bug Club via https://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk/login?c=0 

Homework will be given out on a Friday and should be returned by the following Wednesday. Children will receive housepoints for returning this. 

All children also have home access to SORA online library, Activelearn Bug Club and some pupils have accces to IXL maths and English. 

If children do not know their login details or are having difficulty accessing any of the sites, please contact me.

Please keep checking our website for updates on class and school news.

We look forward to a happy and productive half term. 

Kind regards,

Miss L. Kaufman and Mrs. Ormerod.
