Year 5

Welcome to Year 5

Teachers - Mrs Lyell and Miss Bailey

Teaching Assistants - Miss Apedaile, Mrs Allsopp and Mrs Heckles 

This year our English lessons will be based on a book.  These will be:-

Children are expected to read everyday (reading records initialed by a parent) and need to read to a parent regularly (a comment is needed from the parent at least 3 times a week.)  Reading records are to be handed in everyday.  Children can choose to read using Reading Plus instead of their school reading book but parents must still note this in their reading record.

Homework - this will be given on a Friday and needs to be handed in by Thursday.  Homework will include spellings, maths and grammar.

Swimming

Whilst in Year 5, children are given the opportunity to go swimming. Swimming days for each class are:

• Class 11 (Miss Bailey) - Tuesday morning (Autumn 1, Spring 1, Summer 1)
• Class 12 (Mrs Lyell) - Tuesday morning (Autumn 2, Spring 2, Summer 2)

Please make sure your child has their swimming costume/trunks (no baggy shorts), cap and towel. Children must ensure that their earrings are removed prior to swimming.
