Welcome to Year 5!
We are looking forward to an exciting year of learning in Year 5, with a number of interesting topics and events. Parents who missed the “Welcome to Year 5” meetings can find a link to the slides below.
Indigo Class are taught by Ms Griffiths and Amethyst Class are taught by Mr Brown. Both classes are assisted by Ms Lilley and Mr Nash. Both classes will also be covered at some point in the week by Ms Simpson and Mr Ecclestone (for music) and Amethyst will also be taught by Ms Moss.
Year 5 should arrive at the main gates at 8.40 and be collected at 3.15. Year 5 children can walk home alone if they have written permission from their parents or carers.
The Play’s The Thing!!
Much of our English and art work this half term will focused on preparing the children for our performances at The Junction on Monday 10th November as part of the Shakespeare for Schools Festival. Amethyst will be performing an adaptation of Hamlet and Indigo will be performing Henry V. We will be joined on the night by another local school. We will begin by exploring the play and understanding what happens before beginning rehearsals in October.
The Box Office opens Wednesday 17th September and has a limit of 2 tickets that can be purchased.
We ask that you respect this ticket limit so that every child can have an adult watching their performance.
More details of what happens on the day will follow nearer the time.
PE
Indigo and Amethyst’s P.E days are Wednesdays (outdoor) and Thursday (indoor).
If your child does not have a PE kit or have inappropriate jewellery, they cannot partake in PE. Please contact Mr Brown or Ms Griffiths via the school office if you are having difficulties finding a PE kit.
If your child has earrings which cannot be taken out, they MUST come to school with tape.
Homework is set on Friday and due by Wednesday of the following week. To ensure children can remember these, children should practise spellings on SpellingFrame and Timestables on TTRockstars for short periods at least 3 times a week.
