Welcome

Spring 2024

A very warm welcome to Class 5. Class 5 is taught by Miss K Andrew and we are supported by a wonderful group of Learning Support Assistants - Miss Webster, Miss Prince, Miss Bebbington and Mrs Fritz (HLTA). We believe in working hard and achieving and becoming the best we can.

Reading is very important to our school and time is made each day to read, quiz and change our books. Our class story is decided on a majority vote and the winner was... 'Slime' by David Walliams. We are already enjoying the light-hearted comedy!

PE - Our PE days this half term are Thursday and Friday. PE kits should include a white t-shirt, joggers, leggings or shorts and trainers (not plimsolls). It's advisable that children bring a hoodie or sweatshirt during winter months. Children should have their kit in school everyday as there may be occasions we swap our PE slots around, especially because of unpredictable weather at times! 

All children should bring a labelled water bottle to school every day.

Homework will be sent out on Fridays and return on Wednesdays.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me either at the end of the school day or by making an appointment through the office. Thank you for your support.

 

Below, are some guidelines for the curriculum content in Year 5 : what a child is currently expected to know / be able to do before entering Y6.
You could use these guidelines to support them at home.
 
Homework. 
Reading : library book, AR book any book from home - or any other reading material your child is interested in. Children should read for a minimum of 15-20 minutes a day.
 
It is expected for Year 5 that pupils complete two pieces of homework a week.
The maths set each week (usually MyMaths) and English set from the CGP Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling book. Homework will be set every week on Friday, to be completed by Wednesday morning the following week. We have a homework club for children to book into on a Wednesday lunchtime.
 
Children should continue practice the multiplication and division facts for times tables (up to 12x12) and pracctice the Y3/4 and 5/6 statutory spellings (lists were sent home in September).
