Welcome to Year 5
In Year 5, we aim to provide a positive, engaging and challenging learning environment where children are encouraged to develop independence, resilience and a love of learning as they prepare for the next stage of their school journey.
🐝 Mr Fry – Teacher
🐝 Miss Begum – Teaching Assistant
Our PE lessons take place on:
🐝 Tuesday
🐝 Thursday
Please ensure your child comes to school with their named PE kit on these days.
Children are welcome to bring their own pencil cases to school, provided they are:
🐝 Small
🐝 Clear
🐝 Contain only essential items
Essential items include:
🐝 A pencil
🐝 A blue pen
🐝 A rubber
🐝 A sharpener
🐝 A small ruler
All of these items can also be provided by the school for children who prefer not to bring their own pencil case.
We believe that regular home learning helps children to consolidate their learning, build confidence and develop strong independent study habits.
Children are expected to complete the following activities regularly:
🐝 Read daily and discuss their reading with an adult
🐝 Complete Twinkl Spelling activities
🐝 Practise common exception words
🐝 Complete maths homework from the White Rose Maths homework books (pages will be set on Class Dojo)
🐝 Practise KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts), which are updated on Class Dojo
🐝 Complete any pre-learning tasks set by the teacher
Pre-learning activities help children prepare for upcoming learning, develop curiosity and make connections with new topics in class.
🐝 Activities can be completed at home
🐝 Children can record their ideas, drawings, research or findings in their Home/School Communication Book
Thank you for your continued support in helping your child succeed. Working together makes a real difference to their confidence, independence and progress.
