Dear parents and carers,

We have been delighted to welcome your children into Year 5. We have had a very busy couple of days and the children have settled well into the routines and expectations of our class.

Your child should have come home with their Reading Record book containing their login codes for Spelling Shed and Maths Shed, Times Tables Rock Stars and SORA (the school library service e-book platform- see explanation sheet below). 

Homework is set every Friday on Ed Shed and revises what has been learnt in the week. The children are able to access Times Tables Rockstars at any time.

The reading demands of the Year 5 and 6 curriculum are high, and it is vital that your child reads quality books regularly for stamina and enjoyment. This will support what we do in class. We are currently assessing all children and as a result of this, their reading book band may change. We need their reading record books to be in school every day please.

Forest School is on a Tuesday for Y5.  Your child will be told on Monday if they require outdoor clothes for this. Reminder that Forest School takes place whatever the weather!

PE: this takes place on Wednesday and Thursday for Year 5. If your child cannot take part, you must please inform us.

Please can you ensure that all clothing (especially jumpers, cardigans and coats) and water bottles  are clearly labelled so that they can be returned efficiently if lost.

Have a great weekend.

The Year 5 Team
