Welcome to our Year 5 class page. Here you will find information about our classroom routines and a few snapshots of the wonderful things we do in Year 5. There are two Year Five classes: 5A and 5D. Mrs Allerston teaches 5A and Mrs Duffy teaches 5D. In addition, Mrs Lowe and Miss Marianna work across both classes.
Our Classrooms
Reading in Year Five
We bring our reading book and journal into school every day, to be checked, and it will be changed on a regular basis when necessary. The children should read each night as part of their homework but an adult should hear them read, adding a short comment and initial, 3 times a week
Homework in Year Five
Weekly homework activities include:
- Reading Plus or IDL tasks online (they have their own logins)
- Weekly spellings (set on Monday with a test on Friday)
- Reading their school reading book each day for at least 5-10 minutes
- TTRockstars (times tables practice for 5 mins) or other maths related activities
If your child cannot remember their log-on details, please message their class teacher on Class Dojo.
On occasion, there may be other homework activities linked to topics or other subjects e.g. researching castles in History as a half term project.
Here is the link to the key words that the children need to learn to read, spell and use by the end of the year:
PE Days in Year Five
For the first half term, our PE will be on a Friday and the children will need to come to school in their PE kits for the day.
For indoor PE, they should wear a white t-shirt, white / dark shorts and black pumps
For outdoor PE, they can wear a dark jumper / hooded top and tracksuit bottoms / joggers along with a pair of trainers.
