We love mistakes in Year 5 because mistakes are proof that we are trying - for that reason I always aim to make several mistakes a day!
Welcome to Class 5's page!
Mrs Blackwell is our Class 5 teacher. We are very lucky to also have Mrs Graham working in our class in the mornings; Mrs Stenhouse working in our class in the afternoons Monday-Thursday and Mrs Litchfield working in our class on Friday afternoons.
We will have PE on Monday and Thursday afternoons and it will be taught by Mr Clifton and Mr Edwards.
On Wednesday afternoons, you will have D&T or Art with Mrs Scott
Ms Kalawsky will teach you computing on Thursday afternoons.
Things that you need to remember to bring in everyday:
* PE kits will be needed in school on Mondays and Thursdays
* Reading books need to be in school every day
* A waterproof coat
* A water bottle
You must have a waterproof coat everyday because we walk down to Pasture Lane everyday for our lunch - no matter what the weather!
At the moment, it is also a good idea to wear a sun hat and apply sun lotion!

PE Kit
This half term we will be focusing on football. You will need a plain white t-shirt and plain, dark shorts. However, you might need some dark jogging bottoms and a dark sweatshirt in case of colder weather. For outdoor PE, trainers are preferable to plimsoles as these provide much better grip.
Earrings must be removed or covered up for all PE lessons. Children with pierced ears must be able to remove their own earrings before the lesson or cover them up with tape brought from home. Alternatively, earrings could be removed before school on your child's PE days.
Our book this half-term is ...
Our class novel and English text for our English work is 'Wonder' by R.J. Palacio
Our learning for this half term ...
Homework
In Year 5, we have high expectations for the completion of homework.
Each week, the children will receive spellings to practise on Spelling Shed; times tables to learn on TTRockstars; a piece of reading, writing or maths on Google Classroom and reading to be recorded on Boom Reader.
Spellings
Spellings are set on Mondays when each group receives their new spellings for the week. You are set 15 games to practise over the week with each game earning you 1 house point. We will add all house points earnt over the 7 days on the following Monday.
Times Tables
Times tables are so important for so many areas of maths - not just multiplication calculations. Children are set 30 minutes of Times Tables Rock Stars practise on Fridays. A few minutes of practise each day will really help to build quick recall of these important facts.
Other Homework
On each Friday, the children will be set another piece of homework which will alternate between a piece of written work, a piece of reading work and a piece of maths work. This piece of homework will focus on a skill that we have been working on in class that week. This piece of homework shouldn't take any longer than 20 minutes.
If there any problems with the homework, please speak to me before or after school or email the school office.
