A typical week in Northamptonshire:
This week in Northamptonshire 5
Week beginning Tuesday 22nd April 2025
I hope you had a lovely Easter holiday and your children had a good rest. They certainly returned enthusiastically and happy to see their friends.
We have started a new topic in English and History, learning about the Ancient Greeks. Our book is called Odysseus and we will be learning about his travels and adventures in trying to reach his homeland, while also learning about the greek gods and the influences the Ancient Greeks still have on us today.
In maths we have some practical units of learning, including shape and direction before returning to decimals later in the term.
In RE this term we will be learning about Judaism and how Jews practice their religion in the UK.
We will be learning about our bodies in PSHE and finding out how amazing they are. We will give the children lots of opportunities to ask questions about how their bodies work and how to keep healthy.
PE lessons this term will be on ??? and Forest School will be on Wednesdays. This term's timetable has not yet been finalised - therefore please send your child in with their PE kit on Monday and we will send it home once we have taught PE. Thank you
Spellings will be issued on a Wednesday and tested on the following Wednesday.

Times Tables Rockstars!
To keep practising the multiplication skills taught in class, and challenging yourself to keep the ones you already know fresh, don’t forget to log into your Times Tables Rockstars account.
You should be practising for at least 30 minutes a week.
We have a TT Rock Star of the week. Look out to see who the first one is!
Rapid recall of multiplication is essential for success in maths and Times Tables Rockstars gives you self-confidence, recognition and motivation to improve.
We will have a times tables check each Wednesday.
Challenge yourself to beat your score, build your knowledge and watch your confidence sore, as you become a Rockstar!
Please ask your class teacher if you need replacement log in details.

Reading
We recommend children in Year 5 children read for at least 15 minutes a day.
Please ensure you hear your child read regularly and record on Boom Reader using the parent app on your tablet/mobile no more than once a week:
Some helpful questions to ask the children and check their understanding as they read have been pasted below.
Children should bring their Accelerated Reading book to and from school each day. When they have finished reading their current book, children are asked to complete a quiz before choosing the next one:

Please note: pupil login details have changed slightly due to an upgrade that has taken place on the Accelerated Reader platform. Pupil login details (user name and password) should now be enter in all lower case (no capital letters at all). These login details are used each time your child quizzes a school reading book which carries an accelerated reading quiz code.
