Welcome to Year 5, where we all work incredibly hard to achieve all our goals while having lots of fun.
This year the class teacher is Miss Mitchell. Miss Fletcher is the teaching assistant.
We use Class Dojo, (please ask for a login code if needed) where our learning is shared with parents and you can message the teachers directly.
In Year 5 children use diaries. They are used throughout the day and children are encouraged to use them for organisation and a safe place for their logins. We also write in the children’s ‘appointments’ in them, this is so they know when they will be working with or talking to a member of staff.
In Year 5, children are expected to complete a range of homework tasks, English and Maths tasks will be given every Friday and are due back the following Friday. Topic homework is a range of tasks for children to choose from and is due in at the end of term.
Our PE day is Thursday, children can also wear black trainers on Tuesday for Run-a-mile.
Children should be encouraged to read regularly at home; to build their confidence with word reading, to develop vocabulary, improve comprehension as well as them enjoying a range of different stories. We are using accelerated reader in class; children will come home with a schoolbook and when they have finished this book, they get to complete an online quiz about it.
We will also be working on our times tables in class; therefore, it would be beneficial if children practised multiplication tables up to 12 x 12 at home.
Finally, if you have any problems or concerns about your child, please let us know via Dojo, we are always happy to help.
Many Thanks
Hayley Mitchell, Year 5 teacher
