For Lent, we have decided, as a class, to take on a class reading challenge. By the end of term, we - Year 5, Mrs McVey, Mrs Hodgkiss and Miss Andrew - will read one of three books (chosen by the children). In the last week before we break up, we will celebrate our reading achievement by sharing our thoughts on the book with a book club party. Please encourage your child to read their chosen book to enable them to enjoy our book club at the end of term. You never know, some children might even go the extra mile and end up reading all three (Now there’s a challenge!).

This half term’s competition is now underway (started 6th January) to get as many points as you can from now till the 14th February.

Spellings for a test next week.

Individual spellings - Some children will have come home with individual spellings matched to their spelling ability. They will not be tested on these spellings weekly but should work on them each week. These spellings will focus on a particular sound or set of sounds that your child has struggled to spell.
Homework will need to have been completed by end of Tuesday 11/2/25 when I will check their results and house points will be rewarded. Parents will be informed by text if homework is incomplete.
Thanks for your support. If there are any problems, please catch me at the gate at the end of the day or email me at year5@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk and I will respond as soon as possible.

IXL Maths https://uk.ixl.com
D5 Multiplication facts up to 10: find the missing factor

CC3 Order alphabetically based on the first three letters
(Spend at least 15 minutes on each IXL skill, unless you achieve a score of 100 in a shorter time than this. Please note: Most of the time, these skills will only take a few minutes to complete but on occasion, if they’re tricky, it can take longer. I do not expect children to spend longer than the 15 minutes on any skill even if that means they don’t reach 100.)
