Welcome back Firecrests!

Welcome back, Year 5! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break and are feeling refreshed and ready for the term ahead. We are really looking forward to being back in the classroom and are excited to see you all continue to grow in strength, wisdom, and faith as you take on new challenges, learning and experiences.

The summer term is always a fantastic time of year, full of new opportunities, fun activities, and (hopefully!) plenty of lovely weather for us to enjoy together.
Let’s make this term a great one!

Class Information:

PE

PE will take place on a Monday and Wednesday.

Home Learning Expectations

Reading: Children are expected to read daily for a minimum of 15 minutes. Please ensure this is logged in their Reading Record Books each time and the reading book and record book are in school every day.

Times Tables: Children are expected to be on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) for 30 minutes per week as a minimum. Times Tables are a fundamental part of maths and we would like to emphasise how important it is that this is supported at home. 

Spellings: Children are expected to practise spellings on a daily basis. The spellings to practise each week are on this page.

Equipment in school: 

If you are able to supply a pencil case with basic equipment such as pencils, glue stick, colouring pencils etc, then that would be greatly appreciated. We only require one small pencil case that will fit in the school drawer.  Please bring in a book from home to read in class.  Please ensure water bottles are in school every day.
