Our two Year 5 classes are 5C (taught by Mrs Crinnion) and 5R (taught by Mrs Reynolds). In the Year 5 team, we also have Mrs Bell & Miss Kitchener supporting our learning.
School Day
The School day in Year 5 starts at 8:45am and ends at 3:15pm. To reduce congestion around the classroom doors, Year 5 children line up in their classes on the MUGA and are collected by their teacher. Children are dismissed from their classroom doors at the end of the day.
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.
Kit consists of the school t-shirt, black shorts and trainers or P.E. shoes. Football shirts are not appropriate. As some of the work will be outdoor, children will also need a jumper and jogging bottoms as the weather becomes colder. We do not have spare kit in school so it is essential that children come to school wearing their PE kit on the days they have PE (Monday/Thursday).
Music
Children in Year 5 will be taught by Egglescliffe School music department on a Wednesday afternoon.
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 ParentMail.
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 piece of fruit or vegetable to eat at break time.
Key Dates
