Welcome to the class page for Year 5,  here you will find out some information about our learning and class expectations. Year 5 marks the beginning of Upper KS2, which means the children will be working more independently on a variety of exciting and fun themes in readiness for Year 6!

On this page, you should find all of the information that you will need about your child's curriculum and their everyday routines. Please also remember to follow us on X (Twitter) @StAugustinesCPS to see regular updates with photographs and information about the learning we do in Year 5. 

If you ever have any questions or would like support with anything at all, please feel free to speak with your child's teachers at the end of the day or simply speak to the office and ask them to make an appointment to see us. 

We hope you enjoy being part of our learning journey!

Year 5 Autumn Term will cover:

  • What homework do Y5 complete?

    Homework will reinforce the key skills of reading, spelling and maths fluency. The children will be given homework every Friday and it is to be returned to school for marking the following Tuesday.

    Each week the children will be expected to complete:

    • a Spelling, Puncutation and Grammar task using Spag.com
    • maths arithmetic using Maths.co.uk
    • home reading (x3 times weekly minimum)

    Please support your child with their homework and offer guidance wherever possible.  Your child can always ask for support in school throughout the week.

  • What can I do to help?
    • Please support you children with their homework and listen to them read as often as possible.
    • They also have access to Times Table Rockstars which is an online platform aimed at improving their speed and accuracy in recall of times table facts.
  • What can I do if I am stuck on my homework?

    Sometimes homework can be difficult - and it is meant to be!  Sometimes!  What we need is the resilience to try to work through challenges to find the answers to questions.  Here I will post links to useful websites to help with various aspects of  homework throughout the year.

    This first link is for Maths, as this is an area that we all need reminding about from time to time.  Particularly when it comes to which strategy to use.  Follow this link to the BBC Bitesize Maths area and find the topic and area of Maths you need help and support with.  The information and videos are always helpful!

  • Which days will PE be on?

    In year 5, PE will be on Tuesday (outdoor)  and Thursday (indoor and outdoor). Children are expected to come into school wearing their PE kit for each of these days.
