Welcome to Year Five
with Mrs. Rushton and Mrs. Dolman.
Year 5 have made a fantastic start to the new academic year!
Please look at this page regularly for updates of what we have been doing (Year 5 diary) and reminders of upcoming events.
A timetable and yearly overview are also attached for your information.
Weekly routines.
Please note that Year 5 have PE on Wednesday afternoons. The school PE kit consists of a plain white t-shirt, plain black shorts or joggers and trainers. A plain black tracksuit top can be worn in cooler weather when we are outside. Please ensure that all items are named.
Reading books are to be taken home and read every night (except Wednesdays) and returned to school the following morning so that they can be read in school aswell. (Please make a note in the reading record book to show when reading has taken place.)
Reading comprehension books are sent home on Wednesday evenings. One reading comprehension exercise is to be completed and the book returned the following morning so that the work can be reviewed in class.
