Our two Year 5 classes are 5C (taught by Mrs Crinnion) and 5W (taught by Mrs Wyke). In the Year 5 team, we also have Mr Postgate, Mrs Brown, Mrs Thomas and Mrs Badger supporting our learning.
School Day
The School day in Year 5 starts at 8:40am and ends at 3:15pm. Year 5 children enter school via their classroom door and are met by their teacher. Children are dismissed from their classroom doors at the end of the day.
Seesaw
We love sharing our learning with adults at home! You can see what your child has been learning in school using the Seesaw app. Teachers will upload a variety of photographs/videos for you to view at home. We also send class messages via Seesaw too so please check it regularly.
Homework
At the start of each half term, your child will receive an information booklet. This will contain information about the curriculum and half termly homework project.
Weekly homework includes reading, times tables and spellings which will be tested on a Friday. If you have any concerns or questions about your child’s homework, please feel free to contact us.
In order to do homework effectively, children will need pencils, a ruler, rubber and colouring pencils. Your support with homework will be a great help.
P.E.
Our P.E days are Monday and Friday each week. PE kit consists of the school PE t-shirt, navy shorts and trainers. Football kits are not permitted. As some of the work will be outdoors, children will also require a navy jumper and navy jogging bottoms as the weather becomes colder. We do not have spare kit in school, so it is essential that children come to school equipped for every P.E lesson. If your child cannot do P.E for a particular reason, please send a note to their class teachers. Earrings should be removed – if this can’t be done, please cover the earrings with medical tape or plasters. As well as this, children need to come with their hair tied back on these set days.
After School Clubs
As usual, there will be many After School Clubs starting up. If they cannot attend for a particular reason, please inform school by phone or provide a written note. Please make sure your child is collected on time. All dates for each club are on the timetable provided when signing up. Sign-ups take place on Arbor.
Playtime Snack
As we are a ‘Healthy School’, children are encouraged to bring a named water bottle to school to keep in the classroom so that they can have a drink when they need one. This should be taken home each night, cleaned, and returned full the following day. They are also welcome to bring a healthy snack at break time.
