Year 5

Newsletters

Welcome to Year 5 with Mrs Johnson and Mrs Kelly 😊

On this page you will be able to find our termly newsletter which has important information on for this term, as well as our curriculum overview. Here you can see all the units of work that we will be completing for each subject. As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact one of us.

Reminders: 

PE: Year 5 PE will take place every Monday and Friday (Friday will be swimming!). On a Monday and Friday, children need to come into school in their kits and stay in them all day. Remember that PE kit is plain jogging bottoms (no zips/logos) and either their team colour shirt or plain white/black. Team coloured shirts are available to buy from school. Please ensure that children have suitable trainers as well. Children must wear their long hair tied back and they will not be able to wear earrings. Plasters will not be accepted.
On a Friday, children will need to bring a swimming costume (full costume or swimming trunks), a hat for long hair and a towel. Please refer back to your letter for information.

Reading: Please continue to support us by reading at home with your child for at least 10 minutes a night. We will also be reading with the children in school as regularly as possible so books and diaries must be in school every day.

Homework: This will be sent home each Thursday and will be due the following Wednesday. Our homework focuses on times tables and spellings that the children have been learning in class. If children need any support with their homework, please let us know before Wednesday and we can have a look at it together. 

Water bottles: A polite reminder that the children also need to bring in a named water bottle every day.  

Weather: As the weather is very unpredictable this time of year, please ensure that your child comes to school prepared (coat, sun hat, sun cream…or all of the above!!)
