Welcome to Year 5
Mrs West is the class teacher and Mrs Carson is the teaching assistant. Mrs Jeffrey teaches the class on Mondays.
During PPA (planning, preparation and assessment) time on a Wednesday afternoon, Mrs Jeffrey will teach the class.
Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday.
Week Commencing: 08.12.25
Maths: This week we are learning how to add fractions within one. If adding fractions with different denominators, we are converting the fractions first to ensure that the denominators are the same, before adding them together. We are writing our answers as improper and mixed number fractions.
English: This week we are learning how to vary our sentence lengths to create tension. We are also writing Ode poems about miners or the sea, using amibitious vocabulary.
RE: This week we are looking at scripture, particularly at the language used to show that Jesus is the Messiah. We are also revisiting the story of John the Baptist, and how we can make links with advent.
Homework: Adding fractions and grammar, pages 46 - 47.
One week left until the Christmas holidays!
Week Commencing 01.12.25

RE: We have started our Advent unit by writing acrostic prayers to God, as we reflect on how we will prepare for Jesus' Second Coming during Advent.
Homework: Comparing fractions and grammar, pages 44 - 45.
At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
