Cornerstones Curriculum Summer Term 2 – Class 5
I hope that you are all fit and well and have had a relaxing half-term break. During the Summer 2nd half term in Class 5, we are looking forward to learning about our next topic – Tomorrow’s World.
Text messages, emails, websites, blogs and podcasts. There are so many ways to communicate. Learn how to set up a class blog and build a homepage on a subject of your choice. Suggest ways to improve your school website, and hopefully the headteacher will listen to your ideas. Discover the movers and shakers in the world of technology, the people who’ve shaped the modern world. Perhaps you might be a visionary for the next generation. Build robots and circuits, break codes and investigate gadgets galore. Why not write a thriller narrative in the style of Anthony Horowitz? Then, on request from MI99, build a website for a new Spy School. What pages will it need? One for gadgets? A secret lunch menu? You decide. Let’s start today on Tomorrow’s World.
As well as our topic, the children will develop Invasion Games and Swimming in PE, enhance their understanding of Christianity in RE, as well as enhancing our Literacy and Numeracy skills. Our extra-curricular SAT Clubs are on Tuesday and Thursdays where we will begin to prepare our children for Year 6 and 7 (KS3). All children in Class 5 are encouraged to join in the fun on these After-School Clubs.
Homework will be issued weekly. Spellings will be issued on Wednesday and returned ready for a test on Mondays. Either Literacy, Numeracy or Science will be issued on Mondays, to be returned on Fridays. To continue all our hard work to develop our Remote Learning, we are encouraging our children to access their homework via DB Primary and upload their homework onto the MY WORK section by the Friday deadline – paper copies will still be distributed if necessary. We are trying to encourage our children to read daily, asking parents / carers to give a brief comment in their reading diary. Please ensure that your child returns their reading book to school daily.
Class 5 will have PE on Thursdays (Swimming) and Fridays (Invasion Games) this half term. Please ensure your child has their PE kits in school on Monday morning and leave it in school for the whole week. Naturally, swimming kits will need to be in school on Thursday morning and will be returned on the Thursday evening. We will send PE kits home on Fridays.
Please feel free to contact me with any queries; I genuinely believe that a happy child is the result of outstanding home / school links. Once again, thank you for your continuing support.

We are immensely proud of all our Year 6’s efforts and attitudes towards their SAT preparations, and we are sure that they will receive only positive results to justify their commitment. Please continue to support and encourage your child throughout next week by ensuring they have plenty of ‘brain food’, and plenty of sleep, and remind them to stay calm and focused.
Could you please ensure that your child arrives at school, bright and early each day from 8:30am – no later than 8:45am, and that they head straight to the school hall for brain gym and any additional breakfast if they are feeling peckish. May I remind you that your child’s attendance next week is essential.
To celebrate the conclusion of the SATs, and to reward the children for all their hard work and commitment over the last 6 months, Class 5 will be having a party on Friday 17th May – I am sure the children will tell you more about this!
