Class 5

---

Welcome to Year 5! 

The Year 5 teaching team are:

Mrs Schofield                                                       Miss Lucas                                                          Mrs Potts

We have a very exciting and engaging year ahead of us and many new things to learn. Please have a look at our school curriculum page to find out what your child will be learning in Year 5 -  Ash Grove Curriculum. 

We believe that parents play a vital role in their children's success in school, and we ask you to support us by ensuring that children engage with the homework activities on this page. 

Reading

Reading is the beating heart of our school and a key skill, opening doors to learning and success throughout a child's lifetime. Opportunities to practise reading greatly help children. Therefore, we ask that you encourage your child to read daily. Whilst in school, children will be reading from a range of high-quality texts from our class Reading Journey texts and will be bringing home texts from the school library to share with you at home.

PE/Swimming 

The children will have PE twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Swimming is on a Tuesday and your child will require a swimming costume/trunks and a towel. We will supply them with a swim cap to be worn during the session but they are also welcome to bring their own.

It is important that children have the correct PE kit every week, so we advise that they are kept on pegs. PE Kit should be either a white shirt or Ash Grove PE top with plain black joggers, leggings or shorts. It is also advisable to have a plain black hoodie for cold weather. The children also take part in intra-house competitions at lunchtime so it’s a good idea to always have a pair of trainers in school.
