Year 5

Class Teacher: Miss. J. Hughes (4 days), Mr. C. Houghton (1 day)

Teaching Assistant: Mrs. S. James, Mrs. J. Parker

PE - Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday.  Children should leave their PE kit in school as they can now change in school again.  Please make sure that you bring a warm layer for our Wednesday PE lessons as these will be outside.

Healthy Snacks - Please bring a healthy snack for break time (10.50 am).  Our mornings are long (9.00 – 12.30) and so a snack at break-time will help with concentration.

Water bottle - Please bring a reusable water bottle to school.  Children are able to refill these throughout the day.

Music - Tameside Music Service will be visiting on Tuesdays and children will be learning the cornet this year.  Children will be able to take instruments home to practice if they wish.

Key skills - To help children in key skills, it would be helpful if children could transfer key skills from school to home.  This includes: reading daily (could be a book, magazine, something on a tablet, iPad or kindle), practicing times tables, practicing spellings.  Each child has a login for Spelling Shed and Times Tables Rockstars.  This means that they can practice key skills on a device at home.  Please speak to one of the adults in class if you need any help with accessing any of these resources at home.

The documents below show the work that will be covered during the Autumn 1 half and outline the expectations that children in Year 5 work towards at the end of the academic year.
