Maths and English English English will be taught daily and will be taught in classes this year. Miss Dunkley will support pupils across both classes. Monday s lessons will have a reading focus, alternating between reading comprehension and reading analysis. Tuesday - Friday will be writing based; we will cover both fiction and non- fiction genres each term. Where possible, writing will be linked to our History/Geography topics to ensure that writing is meaningful to the students. Maths Maths will also be taught daily. It will be taught in three sets by: Mrs Lindley, Mrs Biggs and Miss Reynolds. Mental arithmetic tests, reasoning and bookwork will all take place weekly, alongside whiteboard work.

Reading Books As you are aware there have been some changes to reading this year. The most important part of reading remains to gain fluency and automaticity. Children in KS2 will read with an adult in school a minimum of once a term. Reading for learning books are matched to fluency and are there for practise not challenge, even those who are a free reader. Reading recognition has changed this year to hopefully make them clearer for everyone. Children will receive a tick in their chart for each daythat they have read their reading for learning book at home. In KS2 we are also launching a reading challenge, where the children will be able to select a book from our new year group reading spines. Once they have completed the book, they will need to complete a quiz about the book to demonstrate their understanding before selecting a prize from the vending machine. This year we will also be visiting the library bus on a weekly basis, where the children may select a reading for pleasure book. Proud to be part of
Spellings Spelling We will have weekly spelling lessons which will match the spellings sent home each week. Spellings will focus on a new rule each week as well as common exception words for the year group. Both at home and in school we expect the children to transfer spelling knowledge from quizzes into their writing. Proud to be part of
Cursive Handwriting and presentation We will continue to focus on cursive handwriting this year, focusing on where letters start as well as orientation and sizing. Presentation is important in all subjects we want the children to feel proud of their work. Proud to be part of

Expectations Our school values (Self-Disciple, Aspiration, Respect, Resilience, caring, co-operation) are at the forefront of our behaviour policy. Children will receive gems when any adults in school see them demonstrating our key values, once each jar is filled the class will receive a reward. We have renewed our approach to behaviour in school this year so that all staff are using the same language to make things easier for the children. The language we will be using is 3,2,1 eye on me, if we are waiting for any pupils at this point, we will then tell the children that we are tracking and state the number of people we are waiting for. If any pupils are struggling with this expectation, we will speak to them individually and if necessary, we will keep them in for the first few minutes of break time. If they continue to struggle, we will touch base with you to see how we can best support them. We also expect uniform to be worn correctly, including shirts to be tucked in and black school appropriate shoes to be worn. Proud to be part of
Exciting things to come This year we have lots of exciting opportunities to look forward to including: curriculum days, trips and visitors. We will also be doing a class assembly later during the year. In Year 5, the children will also have the opportunity to partake In our Trust Shakespeare project which culminates with a performance at the Derngate Theatre this year we will be performing Macbeth. Likewise, we will be part of the Christmas production alongside Year 6. Proud to be part of
