Welcome to Year 5!

Hello and welcome to our Year 5 class page!

Our Year 5 teaching team includes Mr Rodger, Mrs Celikay and Mrs Inns.

• Mrs Inns will teach the class on a Monday afternoon whilst Mr Rodger has his planning time.
• Mrs Celikay is our Teaching Assistant, supporting learning throughout the week.

In Year 5, we aim to provide exciting and challenging learning opportunities that help every child to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe it is important to give children the skills they need to learn, grow, and have fun both inside and outside of school.

PE

Our PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday.

On these days children should come to school wearing their PE kit:

• A red school PE top (provided)
• School PE hoodie (provided) or Caedmon hoodie
• Tracksuit bottoms/leggings
• Trainers or sandshoes

Swimming

 Throughout Year 5 will begin swimming lessons on Tuesday afternoons as part of their PE curriculum.

On swimming days, children should:

• Come to school in their uniform
• Bring a swimming kit to change into
• Leave all jewellery at home (jewellery is not permitted in the pool)

Home Learning

Reading is a vital part of learning. Children are expected to read for around 15 minutes each day during the week.

• Each child will bring home a reading book linked to their Accelerated Reader ZPD.
• A reading diary will also be provided to record progress and comments.
• Please check, sign, and comment in your child’s diary regularly to support their progress.

Contact

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

• Mr Rodger is available on the yard or by telephone.
• She will also be contactable via Class Dojo messages between 8am and 4pm on weekdays.

 We are looking forward to an exciting year of learning, growth and fun in Year 5!
