Please find some useful information about the school day below, and curriculum information within each of the relevant folders. 

The Year 5 Team

Class Teacher: Miss Fearon

Teacher/Teaching Assistant: Miss Blundell (Shared with Y6)

1:1 support: Miss Turner 

Morning registration

The children can come into their classroom from 8.40am, ready for the school day to begin with registration at 8.45am.

End of the school day.

Please wait outside the classroom door at the end of the school day.  Always ensure that you contact the school office if your child is going home with another adult - or another child in the class - as safeguarding procedures require this instruction. If at any point in the school year you make the decision to allow your child to walk home alone, please contact the school office or a member of the year five team. We will require written permission if we have not already received it. 

Water bottles.

Please ensure that your child brings a water bottle to school to drink from during the day. Please do not send your child with juice in their class water bottles.

Uniform.

Please label your child's school uniform as it makes it very difficult for us to identify lost items. When playing games, the children will often take their jumpers and cardigans off and leave them on the yard which can result in staff spending a long time tracking belongings down.

Book bags.

If possible, please purchase a school book bag from the school office as they are extremely useful for keeping reading books and homework safe and organised (especially when extra worksheets are sent home). Rucksacks should be avoided due to space limitations. 

Homework

As you know, homework is an important part of consolidating the children’s knowledge of what they learn in school. The children will receive worksheets consisting of maths, spellings and punctuation or grammar-based homework on Friday. This will be due in on the following Wednesday.

The children will all be given a home reading book which MUST come into school daily. Please support your child with reading by encouraging them to read for at least 15 minutes per day.

PE

Year 5 will have PE each Wednesday and will be going swimming for the Autumn term. The children should come into school wearing their PE kits on this day. On the cooler days, the children can wear plain black jogging bottoms or leggings over their PE shorts. Football kits and leisure wear are not permitted.
