2026-27

Welcome to Year 5.  Croeso!

Staff in Year 5:   Mrs L Jones & Mrs L Poiner

We are absolutely thrilled to have you all in our class this year! We intend to continue to work as hard as we can, to ensure we can help you become the best that you can be. We are so excited to see lots of your smiles as we learn new and exciting things together. Learning is a two way process and it is important we help each other along on our journeys.

PE Days:

Please make sure you are wearing suitable outdoor clothing and trainers for these sessions. Every other week, we will be having our Estuary Education held on a Monday. We will also be developing our mindfulness and resilience sessions as part of our Health and Well-being Area of Learning and Experience (AoLE)   

Our PE sessions will be held weekly on Fridays.

Reading At Casllwchwr, we do many forms of reading:
Guided reading in groups and whole class  (same text for whole group- decided by the teacher with lots of talk involved teaching objectives)
Shared (paired ,group and whole class)
Independent (own choice)

Please make sure you have access to your library reading books into school every day.

Keep your Reading Eggs password safe! You will access Reading Eggspress for comprehension work.  We understand it may be hard for Mums and Dads to hear you read every night, so be independent and read to yourself when they can’t hear you. Try to alternate it as much as possible and try to read a range of books.

(REMIND YOUR ADULTS AT HOME THAT THERE IS A PARENT INFORMATION DOCUMENT TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND READING EGGS/EGGSPRESS - CLICK ON THE PDF DOCUMENT AT THE VERY TOP OF THIS PAGE)

Spellings

Spellings will be set on a Friday and practised in class.  Children can access these spellings by using our Year 5 class blog on the school website or via their shared files on j2e on Hwb.  

Friday Dictation Challenge 

Once children have become familiar with and have practised the weekly spelling words, both at home and at school, they will be given a dictation challenge on the Friday.  This will allow them to show how they are able to apply the words to their writing and will also give opportunities to practise punctuation and grammar skills.  We are really keen to emphasise to the children that they are learning spellings and punctuation, not for a ‘test’, but instead to become more confident, competent writers.  

Reading

Try to read every night for 20 minutes when possible.

Oracy Projects

There will be one in the Autumn linked to our topic (Victorians) and one in the Summer linked to our topic. 

Y5 Planning- Estuary Phase

2026-27 topics

AUTUMN TERM 2026:

Please note that this planning may be subject to change if there is anything in the news or in current affairs that are important for the children to learn about and be ethically informed. The children also help to lead the learning in class and we aim to gear learning towards their interests too.
