Year 5

Welcome to Year 5!

We have already had a fantastic start to the school year! The adults in our class are Miss Green, who is covering for Mrs Backhouse while she is on maternity leave, and Mr Patterson. 

Here is our timetable for Spring Term!

 

Class Expectations

In year 5, we are following the same high standards, rules and routines, that we have been following throughout the school. However, as we are now in upper Key Stage 2, we are expected to be role models for the younger children and to display a high level of independence and self motivation.

 

PE

PE kits should be brought to school at the beginning of a half term, to be taken home and the end and washed. In order to promote independence, we encourage parents to write names in all of children's things so that children can be responsible for looking after their things whilst they are in school. PE is on a Monday and Friday afternoon.

 

Forest School

Forest school for Year 5 is on a Wednesday afternoon. As this happens weekly, whatever the weather, we ask that children dress appropriately in clothing that you do not mind getting dirty.

 

Reading

It is encouraged to read with your children every night and where possible, to talk about what has been read so that children get into the habit or answering questions about books which will help with their comprehension skills.

Homework

To support their learning, children are sent home with 2 reading books from school! We also encourage that the children go on Times Table Rock Stars each week. Please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher with any questions or for additional support. Thank you for being an active participant in your child's education!
