Welcome to Year 5A

Welcome to Year 5a's class page! This is where you will find all the information you need to know about the Year 5 curriculum and the exciting learning your children will experience this year. There is so much to look forward to with each child's day varied and built around curiosity and enthusiasm.

Our day starts at 8:45am and ends at 3:30pm. In that time, we enjoy being inquisitive and independent learners, who work hard to achieve great things and are able to persevere when things become tricky. 

Key Dates / Reminders

PE

 Wednesdays (outdoor) and Thursdays (indoor)

Reading

 We ask that children are heard read at home at least 4 times per week and their reading planner is signed by an adult.  When a child reads four times a week and their planner has been signed they get to move up within the reading championship!  We ask that reading planners and books are brought in to school everyday and children can change their books as and when they need to. Children can also borrow books from the school library.

Class Rewards

Dojo Points: ClassDojo points are awarded to pupils who display our core values of 'pride, respect, resilience, kindness and ambition'.
Rewards Menu: Once a child has achieved 100 Dojo points they are free to exchange these for a treat of our 'rewards menu', on display in every classroom!

Star of the Week: One child each week is selected for a special award for demonstrating one of our school values, issued in our Friday celebration assembly.

Spelling

Children will bring home their spelling list each Monday.  They will practise spellings which follow the same rule throughout the week and be tested on a Friday.  The aim is for the children to learn the rule so they will be tested on the words sent home plus two more words following the same rule.

Children should also practise their times tables on Times Tables Rock Stars.  

During maths lessons, we follow these calculation policies:
