Welcome to Y5!

We hope you have had an enjoyable summer and we are looking forward to getting to know you throughout this academic year. 

It is a pleasure to introduce myself as your child's new teacher this year. You will also be supported by Mrs Durante, someone who I am sure you are familiar with already from your time in Year 4. You will also have Mr Edmondson for computing as well as specialist coaches for some PE lessons.

Mrs Durante and I are sure this year will be a great one. It will be full of hard work, enthusiasm, fun and friendships. We have an exciting year planned and we cannot wait to get started.

Reading in Y5

Children will read daily in school. This may be in the form of independent reading, guided/group reading or reading as a class. To support your child’s reading progression, please continue to read with them at home on a daily basis where possible. Your child will be provided with a reading record. Please continue to fill this out as necessary. As a guide, your child should aim to read one book at home per week.  

Spellings in Y5

Children in Y5 will be given a list of spellings every week. These are taken from the Y5/6 statutory spelling list. It is important that your child learns both how to spell these words and also the meanings of them at home. In school, we will support this process with a range of activities including how the words can be used in a coherent sentence.

The spellings will be handed out on a Monday, ready for the spelling test which will take place on a Friday.

Homework in Y5

Each child will be given two pieces of homework per week. There will be a piece of English homework and a piece of maths homework. This will be handed out on Fridays and the tasks explained. This will give your child the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about the work set.

Homework should be placed into the homework tray by Wednesday. If your child is finding a piece of work difficult, it is up to them to speak to myself or Mrs Durante before this point so we have time to help and support them.

 PE

In Year 5, children will have PE lessons with Manchester City coaches on a Monday. They will also have an additional PE lesson on Tuesdays. Children must wear a full PE kit on both these days including appropriate footwear.

This half term, we are lucky enough to have rugby sessions on a Friday. This means a full PE kit should be worn on Fridays for the first half term. 

Below is a list of reminders for a usual week-

Monday - (Read) Spellings list given and children to wear PE kit to school.

Tuesday - (Read) Children wear PE kit. Year 5 library session, books to be brought in.
