Year 5

Mrs Kinton and Mrs Johnson are really happy to be welcoming you all to Year 5 for the start of another busy year. Working alongside us, in Isham and Althorp, is Miss Tipler with Mrs Richards and Mrs Lightfoot teaching on a Monday morning.

PE

PE will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays – please make sure you have the correct PE kit in school for these days and ensure that all jewellery is removed. If you have long hair, please remember to tie it back for or bring in a hairband for your PE sessions.

Reading

It is an expectation that all children will read regularly at home and that Reading Records are handed in for inspection. We ask that everyone reads for 10 minutes a day and that this is confirmed with a signature and/or a comment from an adult in order to achieve 5 reads per week.

Homework

Homework will be set weekly, with English and Maths homework given on a Friday and due in on the following Wednesday. These tasks will be online using the MyMaths and Google Classroom. The children will be given their logins for these. If they are unable to access the internet, they will be provided with paper copies wherever possible.

We are following an exciting curriculum in Year 5 and are expecting to have a lot of fun in exploring the world around us whilst developing our knowledge and skills. We are looking forward to getting to know you all and having a fantastic year together.
