Year 5
Welcome to Year 5!
Welcome to the Year 5 class page. Mrs Campion is the class teacher in Foxgloves class and Miss Howard is the class teacher in Sunflowers class. We are extremely lucky to have Mrs Gregory and Miss Pallett working with us too.
Timetable
This is the Autumn timetable for Year 5. As you can see, we have a Week A and Week B timetable. Our P.E. days are Monday and Friday. Please ensure your child always has their P.E. kit in school and that all items are clearly labelled with their name. Children need black shorts, a white t-shirt, jogging bottoms, pumps, and old trainers for outside lessons. We recommend that they bring in a kit every half term and leave it in school for the duration of the half term. Please can you ensure earrings are removed on P.E days.
Homework
Your child will find their homework project for the half term on Google Classroom and below. Once your child has completed a challenge, they are to upload a picture or document to their Google Classroom account. Once uploaded, it will be checked by their class teacher. Homework will be updated half termly and will link to their foundation lessons (Art, History, Geography, DT).

Topic
Throughout the Autumn term, the children will be taking part in a wide range of exciting learning opportunities. In history, they will be exploring the fascinating world of the Vikings, while in DT they will be designing and building their own electrical systems. Geography lessons will take them on a journey to the Alps, learning about life in this unique region, and in art they will be developing their creativity by investigating and making 3D sculptures to create interactive installations. Please check back regularly to see the wonderful work they produce across the term.
Science
This term in science, the children will be exploring earth and space. They will learn about the movement of the Earth, Moon and planets, describe them as spherical bodies, and use the Earth’s rotation to explain day, night and the Sun’s movement across the sky. Please click on the subpages below to find out more about our lessons.
Exciting Learning Opportunities
Good to be Green
At River View, we follow the 'Good to be Green' system. All children begin the day on green. Children who listen and follow the classroom/school rules and values, stay on green. If children do not, the following applies:
- First warning and a reminder
- Stop & think card is issued
- Yellow card is issued
- Red card is issued
If a 'stop and think' or yellow card is issued, children have ten minutes to correct their behaviour in order to return to green. Restorative conversations will take place if a red card is issued; parents will be notified of red cards either in person/ telephone call and a copy of the restorative conversation will be emailed home on the day that the card was issued.
Please consult our behaviour policy in the first instance should you have any further questions.
Online Safety
We take online safety incredibly seriously here at River View and throughout the year, educate the children about the importance of staying safe online and how to do it. There are some websites and images below that you may wish to discuss with your child in order to support their online safety further.
