Year Five
Welcome to Year 5's Class webpage.
Our Class Teacher is: Mr Gill
Teaching Assistants: Miss Goldsmith and Mrs Clark
Welcome to the Year 5 class page. We hope that you will find the information available useful.
In Year 5, we focus on developing independence, confidence and a deeper understanding across the curriculum. Pupils are encouraged to think critically, work collaboratively and take increasing responsibility for their own learning.
Children take part in engaging topic work, enrichment activities and opportunities to develop leadership skills. By the end of the year, pupils are well-prepared for the expectations of Year 6 and the next stage of their education.
If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the team and we will be happy to help.
Reading
In Year 5 we love to read together and independently. Please remember to read at home as often as you can.

Spellings:
Spellings are sent home every week, and a spelling test will take place the following week. We encourage you to practise these with your child at home.
TimesTables
In Year 5, we work very hard to continue to learn our timestables. Please practice these as often as you can. Memorising timetables strengthens our ability to perform mental maths. Timestables are important for completing standardised tests, like SATS, in a timely manner.

PE
PE will take place on Wednesday each week. Please make sure that your child has the correct kit in order for taking part. This should consist of a white t-shirt and a pair of shorts. In the colder months, children may want to wear joggers if PE is outside. They should also have appropriate footwear e.g. trainers or pumps.
