Year 5

Welcome to our Year 5

Welcome to our Year 5 page. There is much to look forward to across the next three terms and we aim to keep you updated throughout the year. Please check back regularly for updates and photos.

P.E.

Our P.E. days this term are Mondays and Tuesdays for both classes. Please could you ensure that children come to school wearing their PE kit and all clothing should be clearly named to avoid anything getting lost. When the weather is cold, the children should come in tracksuit bottoms and sweatshirts.

Earrings should be removed for PE wherever possible. However, Mr Gilbert has confirmed that if the pupil has only recently had their ears pierced and cannot remove them, then it is allowed for them to put plasters over the earrings for P.E. rather than sit out.

Homework

Homework is an important part of the learning process, and we appreciate the time that you spend prompting and assisting your child with their homework. As you are aware, our homework policy has been updated.

Reading - children should read for 30 minutes every day and record this in their Home-School diaries. Their reading diaries will be checked every week by their teacher. Their reading homework can include Bug Club.

Spellings - the children are expected to practice their weekly spellings and complete the Spelling Shed homework sheet and two of the spelling tasks and record this in their spelling homework books due in on Fridays. They may also practise on Spelling shed.

Spellings will be tested each week on a Friday and new spellings will be introduced.

Times Tables - year 5 need to continue to practise their times tables every evening for 10 minutes they can use Times Tables Rockstars to facilitate this if they wish.

Each half term, we will set a creative homework. Please see our termly newsletter for details of this.

Home-School diaries will be checked weekly on Fridays.

At the end of the day

All children need to be collected by an adult from outside the classroom, unless attending an after school club or our wrap around provision. If your child is being collected by a different adult or going home with another child, please inform the office in writing via a letter or email as we will not let your child go unless we or the office have been notified.

If you have any concerns, please come in and see us at the end of the day or contact the office to arrange a time to speak with us.
