A very warm welcome to our Year 5 class. We are very lucky to have two very experienced teachers, Mrs Jones and Mrs Bridge, and our wonderful teaching assistant, Mrs Power.

Monday & Tuesday – Mrs Jones

Wednesday am - Mrs Jones     Wednesday pm – Mrs Littler (PPA)

Thursday & Friday – Mrs Bridge

We are also supported by Mr Hedges for interventions.

PE Days

Our PE days are Monday and Tuesday. Please make sure your child comes to school ready for PE on these days. 

Reading

In year 5, we encourage our children to bring in their reading books daily, so that if there is a spare 5 minutes anywhere, we can use that time well and catch up with our reading. As teachers, we are both avid readers, and believe that being good at reading is not only a non-negotiable life skill, but will support your child in every other area of the curriculum. 

Spelling

Spellings are sent home every Friday and these are published weekly on our class dojo. Spellings are usually linked to our learning in English, and are tested on a Friday morning.  

Keeping in Touch

We will regularly share little snippets of what we have been learning and enjoying in class! 

Our weekly class newsletter, updates and photographs will be shared privately on our ClassDojo page for all parents and carers to see. Please keep an eye on ClassDojo for all our latest news! 

What Will We Be Learning?

I have also added our long-term overview to the class page. This will give you a little peek at all the exciting things the children will be learning and exploring throughout the year.
