Welcome to Year 5 

Welcome back! 

I hope you have had a fantastic summer and are looking forward to an exciting year. We have got lots of exciting things to look forward to this term including our trip to Jodrell Bank. 

We will be supported by Mrs Walker on Mondays (all day) and Wednesdays (morning only). 

We also welcome Mr Clark, who will be teaching computing and PSHE on a Thursday morning, to the Bunbury team. 

Our scheduled PE days are Tuesday with Mrs Smith and Thursday with Mr Friel. Please come to school dressed in PE kit on these days. We will be outside whenever possible, so please ensure you are dressed for the weather!

We will also welcome Mr Walton, an associate teacher from Chester University, who will be with us during the autumn term. 

Connected Curriculum

Our topic this term is 'Tales from Around the World'.

During the first half of the Autumn term, we will take our inspiration from the book The Queen of the Falls which is an inspiring story of bravery and adventure. We will learn about how we map the world and use geographical language, maps and atlases to describe and understand the location and key geographical features of North America, focusing on distribution of natural resources such as energy, food, minerals, and water.

The topic web (which can be downloaded below) provides an overview of what we will be learning across the curriculum.

You will find all of the documents you need for completing your homework in the tab at the top of this page.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask. 

Kind Regards,

Mrs Smith

Our Class Charter

As a rights respecting school, one of the first activities completed in September is our Class Charter. The children choose a number of articles which they feel must be met at school. It is then discussed how the adults (duty bearers) and the pupils (rights holders) in school ensure that these rights are met. Have a look at our class charter below.
