Year 5
Welcome to Year 5!
We are so excited to welcome your child to the year group and as part of this we would also like to introduce the Year 5 team for 2024-2025! The staff in Year 5 are, Mr Burns, Miss Jones and Mrs Smith. Please feel free to talk to the members of staff if you have any questions related to your child(ren’s) time in Year 5.
General Information
- Homework will be given every Friday and should be returned to school by the following Friday.
- Book bags should be brought into school every day. Please record any reading your child does at home in their diaries. We aim to change books weekly but if books need changing before then, please speak to a member of staff.
- It is important to hear your child read on a regular basis, to develop fluency and comprehensions skills. Reading a book several times really helps with the fluency. If there are particular words they get stuck on, write them down and use them to play snap or memory games etc. Further guidance to help you in supporting your child’s reading will be provided throughout the term.
- The classroom doors will be open at 8:35 am in the morning and the
children will be greeted by a member of staff and walk straight into class.
Similarly, at 3:10pm the children will leave school via the classroom door. - Children will need to bring a named water bottle into school. No juice or
fizzy drinks. - The children will have a personal locker to keep all their belongings.
- Children will be provided with stationary, so they do not need to bring their own equipment into school.
Year 5 marks a pupil’s journey into Upper Key Stage 2.
During a child’s time in year 5 they will access and experience an engaging and innovative curriculum.
They will learn and develop their knowledge and understanding of the world around them through pertinent topics such as Home from Home (Vikings), Planet Earth and the Egyptians.
All of our learning can be found on the document below which is our long term
plan.
