Recommended Reads

• These books are accessible for the children in the year group.

Jigsaw - PSHE

A whole-school curriculum that builds social skills, grows emotional literacy, enables mental health and nurtures children’s positive relationships with themselves and others.

Integrates personal and social development work which gives the relevant context to build skills, attitudes, self-esteem, resilience and confidence, all of which are needed to be taught explicitly as well as nurtured implicitly.

A well-structured, progressive lesson-a-week process.

Jigsaw is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme (puzzle) at the same time. This enables each puzzle to start with an introductory assembly, generating a whole school focus for adults and children alike.

The ‘puzzles’….

The six puzzles (themes/ units of work) There are six puzzles in jigsaw that are designed to progress in sequence from the start of each academic year:

• Term 1: Being Me in My World • Term 2: Celebrating Difference (including anti-bullying) • Term 3: Dreams and Goals • Term 4: Healthy Me • Term 5: Relationships • Term 6: Changing Me

Times Tables

• In Year 5 we will be looking at all the times tables up to x12

• The children will be learning these in and out of order.

• So by the end of the Year 5, the children should be confident in knowing all of them in and out of order including the inverse.

How can I help my child?

• Roll the dice - Each person rolls 2 dice and add them

together then multiply.

• Playing cards- Turn over 2 cards and multiply, the first person

to answer wins.

• Spinners – each player spins their spinner and multiplies the

numbers.

• Encourage them to use Times Table Rock Stars for daily

practise.

Comprehension

• Question stems

• How to answer comprehension questions
