'Be Kind, Work Hard'

Welcome to Hawks Class-Year 5

Miss Churchill and Miss Stock would like to welcome you to the Hawks class page. Feel free to take a look around.

The learning never stops at Livingstone.  

Spring 1 is here!

This term, we will be:

  • Busy learning about properties and changes of materials in Science
  • Learning about Vikings in Topic
  • Expanding our knowledge of Spanish phrases
  • Developing our creative flair in English, learning about debates
  •  Strengthening our Maths knowledge with fractions, multiplication and division. 
  • As you can see another packed term!

 

Children in Year 5 are increasingly encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning; to do their homework, to pack their school bag, to remember their PE kits. As a result, they will develop and grow in confidence and resilience. It is about encouraging independence in preparation for bigger things to come.

Year 5 homework is every Thursday. There are a variety of activities and tasks to carry out for Maths and English. These will be set on Purple Mash and  My Maths, 

 

You will be set English comprehension, reading and spellings 

 

In Maths, you will be set times tables amongst other activities

 

Hawks have PE on a Thursday and Friday. This term, we will be doing Gymnastics and Dance

You need to arrive to school in your PE kit and wear clothing appropriate to the activity and weather.
