Useful Information
Homework - Homework will be given out on a Thursday and is due in the following Tuesday. Homework in Year 5 will be English, Maths and Spelling. Children are expected to learn their times tables and these are practised daily.
Reading - Children are expected to read at least 5 times a week at home. Please record reading at home in reading records. Reading records will be checked daily. Their achievements are shown on their class reading tree. Every child has an apple on the tree which moves around as their days reading at home increase. It becomes very competitive to be the first one to reach the 'Golden Apple'!
PE - We have 2 PE lessons per week. Please ensure PE kit is in school (including a change of footwear) Monday to Friday.
Spring 1 – Take One Artist
Starting the New Year, we are looking at our Take One Artist, Phil Dean, otherwise known as The Shoreditch Sketcher. Phil Dean trained as a graphic designer in Leeds, England when learning to draw properly was essential for the job. Before computers took over, physical drawing was much more part of the creative process than it is today. Over the years, in his roles as a designer, Phil gradually drew less as part of his commissioned work and more in his personal sketching work. The children this term will be using inspiration from this method of art to sketch their own drawings.
