Welcome to Autumn Term and Taylor Swift Class!

Hello!

Welcome back to the Autumn term and welcome to Year 5! It was lovely to welcome the children back into school and to their new class today. They were all super enthusiastic and vary keen to show that they are ready to learn and take on new challenges! Below, is all the information that you should need about this first half term.

What are the expectations in Year 5?

- To follow the Keyworth Code and our class rules. 

- To read at least 3 times a week at home (or in Reading Lair) and for home-school books to be signed every week. Reading Lair is a great option for Year 5 because children can come on their own. It opens at 8.30am every day.

- For children to remain in their green zone on Doodle maths and Doodle spell (this is approximately 10 minutes every day). The children can find their new passwords and logins in the front of their home school book and Doodles have already been set which link to the maths and spelling we are covering in class.

- There is an optional Doodle tables and I set tables to practise every week. Whilst children are not required to do this, multiplication underpins almost 75% of the maths curriculum in Year Five and it is vital that they are fluent in all their times tables - all the way from 1x1 to 12x12!

- For children to take part in the Bronze Reading challenge (this can be found at the back of your child’s home-school book).

- Check the class blog regularly to see what we’re doing in school.

When are the PE days this half term?

PE sessions are with Miss Robinson and Mrs Wales on Monday and  Friday afternoons.  PE kit is a red T-shirt, black shorts and plimsolls or trainers. It is important their kits are labelled and brought in on Monday, so that your child can take part in these activities.
