Welcome to 5W

Mr Ward and Miss McCue are both looking forward to the adventures we will embark on as a class. There are 30 children in 5W and we are working on creating an inclusive, fair environment where we will become historians, writers Mathematicians; the list is endless.

Our class is a vibrant and welcoming place for your child, with a strong emphasis on the MAPLE values.

What we are learning:

Spring Term:

In year 5, we will access a wide variety of texts, writing a range of text types, in a bid to unearth a passion for writing! In maths, we will follow the year five curriculum, starting with a strong foundation of Place Value

In PHSE, our topic is Dreams and Goals, where we will discuss what keeps us motivated for the future, careers we aspire to have one day, and how working hard can enable us to get there.
In Maths, we will be continuing to look at fractions, as well as building a strong foundation based on arithmetic and times tables.
In Computing, we will be Video Editors, using our devices to explore video angles and add features to our video, before moving on to exploring databases and data entry.
In History, we say goodbye to The Mayans, and explore the pivotal years surrounding Henry VIII, and how his reign shaped religion in Britain today.
In DT, we will be building up to making a vegetable pasty, exploring the seasonality of vegetables, the importance and health benefits of fruit and vegetables,  before hygienically preparing our own.
Our next two topics in MFL include “At the Market” and “Clothes”, where we will continue to ask and answer simple questions in French.
In Geography, we will be looking closely at South America, and how it contrasts with Stoke-On-Trent, paying particular attention to the climate and rainforests, and how deforestation impacts the world around us.
In Science, we will be investigating a range of forces, and how they are involved in everyday activities.

Routines and key information:

  • Children are encouraged to be more independent in year five. Therefore, they should bring their diaries and reading books in daily.
  • Children are expected to read at least 4 times a week at home, although 5 times is even better and children who achieve this will be rewarded with a certificate.
  • Toast can be purchased daily at breaktime.  The cost of this is 35p a day and the money needs to be put on the children’s parentmail account.
  • Finally, PE is every Monday and Friday. It is important to bring the correct kit. Please inform us if we can help in anyway.

Communication:

  • Maple Court Academy uses Class Dojo as a way of communicating with parents.
  • ​For any help or assistance with using Dojo, please speak to a member of the Year 5 team who will be more than happy to help!

Welcome to 5S

My name is Miss Screen, and I am proud to be the 5S class teacher. Across the year band, we also have Miss McCue and Mrs Henshall who supports us.
Welcome everyone to Year 5. 5S is a class where we hard work, show independence and where resilience is a key focus. Although we work hard, there are lots of exciting experiences, laughter, love and smiles along the way.

At Maple Court, we are proud to show the MAPLE values at all times.

Trips:

Our trips this year will include a visit Apedale Mining Museum where we will learn about mining in Stoke- On -Trent and we will have the opportunity to go down a coal mine.

Routines and Key Information:

  • Reading books and reading for pleasure books can be changed any day- the children just need to let us know when they are finished. In Year 5, we encourage the children to be independent with their home learning and book swapping.
  • Children are expected to read at least 4 times a week at home, although 5 times is even better and children who achieve this will be rewarded with a certificate.
