In Year 5 we have two classes - Jackdaws and Ravens.

In Year 5 Ravens the class teacher is Mrs Walton.
Our teaching assistants are Mrs Smith, Miss Rathor, Miss Clegg (one to one) and Mrs Mitchell. They will work across all classes, delivering interventions and fix it sessions when needed.
Both classes are made up of children who are aged between 9 and 10 years old. The children follow the National Curriculum for Key Stage 2 which builds upon the children’s learning and experiences in Key Stage 1.
Before and after school clubs
Please note that we run our own breakfast club every morning from 8am. Contact school if you would like your child to attend.
We also offer lots of after school club activities Monday to Thursdays (you can sign up on the Gateway App) so please make sure you are checking ClassDojo at the start of each half term to see the full list.

SATs Companion
Year 5 now uses SATs companion, which is a website to help children with extra learning across English, Maths and science. The videos online are great as they recap the learning taught in school before your child takes the online test, this will really boost their confidence. Children are encouraged to use this for extra learning too.
Homework
Homework will be given out on a Tuesday and expected to be completed and handed back in on the following Monday. A weekly task of English and Maths will be put on SATs companion for children to complete. We will also hand out weekly spellings to be practised and understood as children will be tested on these. Homework will also focus on a current area of study - we may for instance ask the children to create a model or design a poster around their latest topic etc.
Snacks
For snack children are allowed to bring a piece of fruit in for their break time, however, no other snacks are allowed such as: crisps and chocolate. Also, Children will also have access to milk in the morning. Furthermore, children are encouraged to bring their own water bottles in to stay hydrated throughout the day.
If you would like to discuss anything further or have any questions regarding what is being covered in Year 5 then please contact the office or send a message through ClassDojo and the class teacher will get back to you after school to make an appointment.
