Welcome to the Junior Department. The Year 5 team consists of Mrs Amal, Miss Lett, Miss Fortune, and Miss Lewis. We work closely together to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment, and all members of the team are available to assist if you have any questions or require support.
We are excited to welcome the children into our Year 5 classes and look forward to an enjoyable, productive, and successful year ahead. We are confident that this will be a wonderful year of learning, growth, and achievement for all our pupils.
PE – Children have PE sessions on Wednesdays and will come to school wearing their PE uniform – (white top, dark jogging bottoms / leggings, school jumper, cardigan or hoodie and trainers).
Water Bottles – We encourage all children to bring a water bottle in school to stay hydrated!
Homework – We will be setting Maths and English homework each week on a Thursday. This will be in your child’s homework book. Please return homework by the following Wednesday.
Spelling Tests – We will be learning different spelling patterns each week in year 5 using the Superhero Spelling scheme. The children will take part in fun spelling games to help them learn the patterns and we will be sending them home each Thursday in their homework book and on Class Dojo. The spellings will be tested on the following Tuesday.
Times Tables – To support the maths curriculum, all children are encouraged to continue learning and practising their times tables up to 12 x 12. Regular practice is the best way to make times tables stick, so having them up around the house, listening to times tables songs and regularly using Times Tables Rockstars will help!
