Welcome to Year 5
Mrs C Moore
Our final term in Year 5 has begun and it promises to be a long but action packed one! We welcome Mr. Harroway back for the last part of his training.
Timetable arrangements are:-
Monday – Mrs. Moore and Mr. Harroway (trumpet lessons)
Tuesday – Mrs. Moore and Mr. Harroway (maths games)
Wednesday – Mr. Harroway
Thursday – Mrs. Moore (reading diaries), Music – Mrs. Connolly
Friday - Swimming – Mr. Connolly, Mrs. Moore,
PE Swimming will be on Fridays beginning next week (Friday 25th April)
Woodbridge School Sports beginning this week (Friday 18th April)
Homework
The children need to have at least 4 entries in their reading diaries each week. Maths diaries need to be signed and in school on Tuesdays. Each child should know their target multiplication tables to learn and these should be practised. Other tasks will be recorded in their homework diaries. Please check that your child is completing any set work.
Curriculum
Please find attached the curriculum plan for this term. There are a number of exciting activities planned including a visit from a local artist Dale Devereux Barker. If you feel you can contribute to any of these areas, all help is gratefully received!
SEAL units will include issues around relationships and changes.
Events
Sutton Hoo
The children will be performing “
African Adventure
The beginning of July sees our visit to Sizewell on 3rd/4th July. Two consent forms are attached (one from Sizewell and one from Suffolk County Council). These both need to be returned. Looking forward to a warm night in an African hut! If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. There is more information to follow. Again, assistance with transport there and back is greatly appreciated. The Friday sees the Summer Fair!
Summer Club
The Summer Club will run from Wednesday 23rd April from 3.45 to 4.45 pm. Please fill in a consent form if your child wishes to stay.
School Production
As in previous years, Years 4 and 5 play a crucial role in supporting Year 6 in the end of year production. This will be Scheherazade – but maybe not as you know it! The children will be involved on two evenings – Tuesday 8th July and Wednesday 9th July.
May 3rd
Mrs. Connolly has arranged a special concert for Mr. Connolly’s retirement, to celebrate his contribution to music education. You should have received a letter already. She is asking that Year 5 children attend. We hope they can make it.
Many of the children have taken extra responsibility within school over the year, ranging from running a lunchtime club for younger children, to assisting in putting away tables at the end of lunch. Thank you to all of them! Their help is invaluable and they make a real contribution to the running of the school.
Those who have chosen to do this have been consulted on different occasions and all timetables have been drawn up with them. Now the weather is improving, some may feel they would rather be outside. Whilst I can sympathise with this, the children need to understand that a commitment has to be fulfilled and sustained.
As always, should you have any concerns, please contact me.

The Tempest
Jevan Whittaker
In Year 5 Tim Davies came in to do some things about the Tempest. First we played a name game so that he could learn our names. Then we had to walk around the hall then when he said Ariel, Calaban or Sycorax we had to say a line they say in the play. Then we had to do a still picture of a part of the first paragraph.
Overall I've enjoyed the first two lessons because he gave up his time to work with us which was very nice of him. The Tempest

Every Monday a man called Tim Davies comes in to teach us drama. First he plays games with us. For example one game is where we all stand in a circle. Tim chooses someone to start, then that person has to chooses another person in the circle and has to say there name. After they've said there name they have to walk towards that person. If the person they're walking towards doesn't say another person's name, before they get there they're out. I enjoy doing drama with Tim. I'm looking forward to seeing The Tempest at the Wolsey Theatre.
