Here, you can find out the latest information and our home learning tasks

This week we have been learning how to use dialogue in our writing. We would like you to create a poster showing all the information we have discussed. Here is a reminder;

Why is dialogue used in a story? 
To tell the story, develop characters and move the action on. 

What are the rules for writing dialogue? 
 - speech marks around spoken words
 - capital letter at the start of speech
 - punctuation before the final speech mark
 - make it clear who is speaking
 - narrative between speech, not just a conversation.  

We look forward to seeing your creations. Have a lovely weekend in the sunshine!

PE Kit

Please make sure that you have your PE kit in school everyday. Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday, but now that the warmer weather is approaching we may be able to fit in some additional sessions too. 

Please remember that PE kit is plain black shorts or leggings and a plain t-shirt in the colour of your house. 

Parents/carers: If you have any questions, queries or comments about Year 5, please email the school office on: admin@southmead.devon.sch.uk

They will forward this information to the correct member of staff who will then be able to get back to you regarding your query.

This year, we will be encouraging the children to become independent learners.

We will be placing home learning here on the Year 5 page of the school website. Any resources necessary to complete the tasks will be printed out and placed in each child's green home learning book. Each week there will be a Maths task and a writing or topic task (alongside times tables and reading). Home learning will be uploaded here on Fridays and is due to be handed in at school on the following Wednesday.

Home learning books should be brought back in to school every Wednesday so that we can see your wonderful work!
