Welcome to Year 5!

In preparation for our Year 5 Sharing Assembly, children will be given scripts. Please encourage your children to learn their lines. Thank you for your support.
Please can all pupils remember to bring their one pound contribution towards cooking at Chiswick school this week.
This Friday is Children in Need, however, as Year 5 are going on a trip to the National Portrait Gallery please can all children come to school dressed in full school uniform.
Please check you have updated your AUP form for privacy and photographs. You would have received a Parentmail about this.
Please ensure children are completing all of their homework, MyMaths is compulsory in Year 5!
PE will be on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Please have labelled PE kits in school so that the children can change during the school day.

Autumn Topic Words- World at War

Please see the attached vocabulary list for our new topic. This list is part of a new initiative called Word Aware that we are using in school. We thought it would be helpful to share this list so that you can use some of these words at home when discussing the topic. If your child speaks a different language at home it would be helpful to discuss and translate these words using your home language.

Reading	Daily (at least 20 mins) Reading Record books must be brought into school every Tuesday to be checked. We encourage children to write a reflective comment at least once a week when returning their Reading Record book to school. Children are encouraged to read aloud weekly to an adult and discuss what they have read. Children should share their opinions, inferences and/or predictions about what they read. Children are able to change their reading book whenever they need to. Children may also borrow books from the Junior Library.
Grammar & Punctuation
Spelling	Set on Tuesday and tested through dictation the following week. The word-lists for years 3 and 4 and years 5 and 6 are a mixture of words learners frequently use in their writing and those which are often misspelled. Some of the listed words may be thought of as quite challenging, however with enough practise and resilience we know you will get the hang of them! Year 3 and 4 Word List Year 5 and 6 Word List
Maths
MyMaths	Set on Tuesday and the task will end the following Tuesday afternoon.
Times Tables	Please find below two links to games online for times tables practise. An alternative way for children to practise their speed and accuracy!
