Gwithian

Welcome to Gwithian class. We are so delighted your child will be spending Year 5 with us.

Please view our ‘Curriculum Overview’ – this provides you with detailed information about what your child will be learning throughout the year. It also outlines how we will support and nurture your child’s personal and social development.

Chilli Challenge Homework

At St Uny C of E Academy, we believe homework is anything children do outside of the normal school day which contributes to, or enhances, their learning. Homework encompasses a whole variety of activities instigated by teachers, linked to current learning, and we ask that parents / carers support this learning at home. The ‘Chilli Challenge’ grid includes a variety of exciting tasks and activities linked to this term’s learning – all pupils should aim to achieve 10 points across their selected challenges.

As reading underpins all that we do, we ask that parents read with their child every day. Please ensure this is recorded in your child’s reading record – each week, members of staff will check reading records as your child works towards their ‘Reading Karate’ bands.
