Welcome to the Year 5 page of our website! Below you will find lots of useful information about our class as well as what we have been up to.
My name is Mr. Knight and I am the class teacher. My assistant is Mr. Carroll. Mrs. Spacey and Miss Mallinson also teach Year 5 on Fridays. Mrs. Moore very kindly comes in on Thursday afternoons, especially to listen to the children read and talk about stories.
The second week after the holiday, Wednesday 6th March 2019, we will start swimming. Click the links below for the information and goggles letters.
Reading (everyday) – Your child should read at home every day (independently or to an adult) record it in their Home School Record and get it signed or initialled by an adult at home. It is really helpful if you can chat to your child about what they are reading, what their opinion about the book is and get them to make predictions about what will happen next based on what they have read.
Please make sure that Home School Record and reading books are in everyday!
Learn spellings (everyday) – New lists are given on Friday for your child to learn for a test on the following Friday.
Maths times tables (everyday) – Each week, the children are given a times table to focus on learning ready for a test on the following Friday. If your child knows their times tables very well, they will be tested on decimal numbers. For example, 0.6 x 3= 23.5 x 4 = After Christmas, we look at problem solving and reasoning questions using our times tables knowledge.
English and Maths Homework
English and Maths homework will be given on a Friday to be in the following Friday. The homework will be based on work done in class that week and you should not spend more than 20-30 minutes on each piece. We will check homework together in class and work through any misunderstandings.
P.E. (Including swimming)
Year 5 have P.E. on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Please make sure that full P.E. kit is in everyday.
We start swimming after the February half-term holiday and continue until the end of the year. Lessons are taught by a fully qualified swimming instructor. I will let you know details of the first session, including what kit to bring, nearer the time.
Abacus – www.activelearnprimary.co.uk – your child has a login and password written in their diary so that they can access the Abacus website and do any maths homework that is set.
Learning Log – A learning log is set every half-term to be completed and brought in during the first week of the next half-term. Be creative and learn something amazing. You can download the Learning Logs below.
Please make sure that reading books and Home School Record books are brought in everyday and that spelling books are in on Friday.
If you have any concerns please come and see me after school or make an appointment in the office.
Thank you
Mr. Knight
