Year 5

Welcome to our Year 5 page which includes all the details to help you and your child know a little about their year group.

Below is a short welcome and introduction to the team and you can follow the tabs below to find out about the curriculum, key information and more.

Miss Lloyd is their class teacher this year and she will be supported by Mrs Atkinson and Mrs Isles.  Miss Coates will be teaching the split Maths and English classes. 

 

P.E

P.E days this half term are Thursday (Outdoor) and Friday (Swimming). Please remember to name all of your child's belongings, including all of their uniform, indoor and outdoor P.E kit and shoes.

P.E KITS

Outdoor P.E
Children should wear their outdoor kit; trainers (come to school wearing trainers - school shoes are not required on these days) P.E t-shirt, navy blue jogging pants and a navy blue sweatshirt / school fleece (not a hoodie or a zipped jacket as these are dangerous for P.E).

Indoor P.E
Children should wear shorts, a P.E t-shirt and come into school wearing their trainers.  During the Autumn and Spring Term the children should wear jogging pants and jumper / school fleece over this kit so they do not get cold during the school day.  

On our class page you will be able to see what topics we are covering during the year. You will be able to access the class timetable and other useful information. Keep checking the Class Dojo page too for other information.

Snack

Please can you send your child in with a labelled water bottle (filled) everyday. Water bottles will be sent home every night to be washed. 

If you wish your child to bring an additional snack then this must be a healthy option- we do not allow crisps or chocolate at break time.

Please ensure that you order your child's school dinner each day via parent pay.  

Additional Notes

Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat in school or brought in daily as our weather is very unpredictable and the children will be accessing fresh air in all weathers. 

 

If you have any concerns or questions about your child's education then please contact Miss Lloyd.

DOJO Updates
You can keep up to date on life in Year 5 on Class Dojo. We will share pictures and useful reminders. Children will receive dojo points for a variety of achievements.
