Welcome to Year5/6!  We hope that we all have a fantastic year together and form a safe, happy and caring class, who make great progress with our learning.  Please speak to us after school or email Mrs Barrett or Mrs Goode if you have any questions, concerns or if you have any positive feedback.

Please take a look at the Meet the Teacher presentation attached below to find an overview of learning and further important information.

Guided Reading

We use an approach to Guided Reading session that combines comprehension practice with opportunities for reading for pleasure. To support this, please ensure your child has a book they would like to read in school with them each day. Termly tasks for reading are saved on our class Padlet (more detail can be found in the letter in the attachments section below.)

Spelling

Please see the spelling overview for the term below. We will be using the Essential Spelling and Word Knowledge approach, looking at root words, prefixes and suffixes, and the rules which determine how these combine to form words. Please see the letter below for more info and an overview of our patterns for this term. Here are some suggestions for techniques you could use to practise at home.
