Welcome to Year 5

from Mrs Whiteside and Mrs Button!

Welcome back after the Easter break and it's great to see everyone in their summer uniforms. Hopefully we will get some gorgeous weather to go with them!

We are now entering our Create term during which our focus will be on all things creative with some art and DT. We look forward to using our imaginations to create some wonderful work.

If you have any questions or queries please don't hesitate to ask. Our door is always open.

Class Five Responsibilities

Each child in Class Five has a Reading Record and it is their responsibilty to read at home and record what they have read in their book. If a family member could initial their record they will receive a dojo when it is returned to school.

Class Five will receive spellings on a Monday allowing them to practice for their spelling test on Friday.

Class Five are encouraged to be prepared for each day of school life. Flute takes place on a Monday afternoon, swimming on a Tuesday afternoon and P.E. on a Thursday afternoon.
