Year 5 2021 - 2022

Welcome to Y5 class page with Mrs Leigh & Mrs Pritchard.

We are really looking forward to welcoming the children back on Monday 6th September and so hopeful that we will get a full and fun year together! 

Here are just a few things to remember...

Start and Finish Times

Drop-off time is 8:50, ready to start learning at 8.55am and pick-up time is 3:15pm. 

Reading

We are reintroducing Reading Records this year. A member of staff will check these every Monday.  Please make sure you are reading at least 4 times a week and try to read for around 25 minutes, each time. If you prefer to read a book you have at home, rather than a school book, that's fine as long as it is age appropriate.  We don't want to stop you reading a good quality book that you are enjoying!

Remember, reading at least 4 times each week earns you extra dojos and will put you on track to meet our millionaire challenge!

P.E.

From Tuesday 7th September, Y5 will be attending swimming sessions (each Tuesday afternoon). These sessions are an important part of the children's P.E. curriculum, which they unfortunately didn't complete last year (due to the pandemic). It is important that each Tuesday children come into school wearing: jogging pants/leggings, trainers, their P.E. top and their school jumper, with a swimming costume underneath (BOYS MUST WEAR SWIMMING TRUNKS, RATHER THAN BOARD SHORTS AND GIRLS MUST WEAR A FULL SWIMMING COTUME). They must also remember to bring a towel to school with them, for after the lesson. .

Water bottles

Please send a water bottle in for your child.  Even when the weather is cold, your child will still need a drink throughout the day. Make sure that your water bottle is labelled, this is particularly  important due to the current pandemic.

Tuck

Tuck money MUST now be paid directly through the online system. Please contact the school office with any queries.

Music

Providing that covid cases stay low enough then music lessons should be able to take place on a Wednesday afternoon. We will keep children's instruments in school until further notice.

If you need to speak to me at any time please email into school or call in to make an appointment.

Thankyou for your support.
