Year 5 Groups

The children in Year 5 are split into two Maths groups and two English groups. Therefore, your child will have either Mrs Scallan or Miss McKnight for Maths or English.

Physical Education

EAGLE CLASS PE DAY is FRIDAY.

Our PE days your child is permitted to attend school in their PE kit solely on this day. 

They will no longer need a PE kit in school but we ask that they keep a pair of labbelled black pumps in their locker for dance, gymnastics nd indoor lessons. 

The PE Kit is : navy blue, plain tracksuit bottoms with no stripes on logos, a plain white t-shirt with no collar and  a pair of trainers. Chilren can wear a navy zipped hoodie with the school logo on. 

Clothing for PE should be sport brand free. 

Please ensure that ALL items of clothing including pumps are labelled with your child’s name.

Homework

Homework will always be given with the exception of school holidays. Homework is put on Google Classrooms which can be accessed via numerous devices (laptop, computer, Tablet/Ipad, phone, Xbox) for you to see. The logins will remain the same and the children will be reminded.

Children will be given homework books with their homework stuck in to complete at home and return to school on the correct day. 

All homework will be set on a  Friday  and due in for the following Wednesday by 08:50am. It allows your child to do some each night or all in one night.

Homework is recorded and monitored and any which is not completed at home will result in your child losing Dojo points. It is important that homework is completed as the activities set will help prepare your child for the learning in the classroom and practice any skills they have learnt.

Reading

As well as set homework, your child should also spend time each evening reading for at least 10 minutes. Your child will bring home a book from school. This book must be read as your child will have been assessed and set to match their reading age. They may also read a book of their own choice from home / the library alongside this if they wish. Your child will complete a quiz on Accelerated Reader once they have completer their book to check their knowledge and understanding.

Each child will also receive a reading record. The record should be filled in every time the child reads at home (minimum 3 x per week). The children should make notes about what they have read and have this signed by a parent / carer.

This will be checked in school weekly so any parental comments can also be communicated here. if there is no evidene of children reading at home over the course of a couple of weeks, this will result in them losing a Dojo point.

Year 5 Suggested Reading List

Spellings

Children will be assessed and placed into groups for their spellings lessons. Spelling lessons will take place in the mornings and a spelling test will take place every Friday. Spellings are best learnt little and often rather than all the night before and we advise that children play the games on Spelling Shed to help them practice. We also recommend that children practise the common exception words for Year 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Times Tables

Your child should also regularly practise their times tables up to 12 times tables. Again, we would recommend 10 minutes per night to improve their knowledge and speed. To help with Maths progress, they must know all their tables with confidence and be able to recall them rapidly. 

Times Table Songs 

School Bag

Your child will be assigned a locker for the year. The lockers are used for your child's coat and bag so please ensure rucksacks are not too big. We recommend using the school book bags as these will fit easily into the locker. 

Your child should use their book bag to bring letters and books home in and return them. We also ask that children in KS2 bring a small  empty pencil case. If your child does not yet have a  pencil case in school, please could you try and source one and have it in school as soon as possible.
