Year 5 2023 - 2024

Welcome to Y5 class page with Mrs Leigh & Mrs Pritchard

We are really looking forward to welcoming the children back on Tuesday 5th September and hoping for a 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 using Reading Records again this year. A member of staff will check these are in school every day and they will always be updated on Mondays.  Please make sure the children are reading at least four times a week and try to read for around 25 minutes each time. Please let me know if your child would like to read a book from home, rather than a school book, we will check it is at the correct level for them and also is on Accelerated Reader so they can quiz on it at the end.  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 4 extra dojos and will put you on track to meet our millionaire challenge!

Timestables Rockstars

It is really important that the children access TTRS at least four times a week at home, this will be set for 5 minutes every Mon - Thurs. This will be checked weekly and dojos and rewards given out.

P.E.

PE lessons will take place on a Tuesday afternoon, the children should come dressed in school PE Kit every Tuesday. 

Water bottles

These are provided by school and kept in school. 

Tuck

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

Music

Music lessons should be taking 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 or phone into school or call in to make an appointment.

Thankyou for your support.
