Welcome to Year 5!

We are really looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. We have been really busy with our classrooms and planning for the new school year. We have a few things to share with you for this week and the upcoming term.

We will send a blog post weekly to update you for the following week. We will not be posting these updates on class dojo. Dojo will only be for celebrations and sharing school days.

Our PE day will be Monday, in the afternoons. We expect to see everyone in their kit, in the correct uniform please. Refer to the website for clarification on what should be worn. Earrings must be removed completely and not taped.

Spellings will be set every Friday and tested the following Friday. To give you a head start here are the spellings to be tested on 12th September: ambitious, amphibious, curious, devious, fictitious, infectious, notorious, nutritious, repetitious, obvious. They all have the same ending! Spellings will not be coming home on paper anymore to try and do our bit for the environment!

Please make sure you have signed the permission to walk home form so we know for tomorrow at the end of the day. The office update this form for us to see regularly.

This week we will be completing 3 days of Zola's Happy Hearts and Minds. Please see this message from Mrs Galer, our PSHE lead:

We understand that coming back after the summer can be a big transition. To help everyone settle back in after the break, this week we'll be taking part in Zola's Happy Hearts and Minds Week. This is a special week of fun activities designed to support your child's health and wellbeing. We'll be doing things to ensure your child feels happy and relaxed as they transition back into the school routine. It's a great way to reconnect with friends, find out about what can help us to learn, and get ready for the exciting term ahead.

Monday 8th Sept - Rocksteady Music Assembly and Workshop, PE kits.

Wednesday 10th Sept - Planning Time for Year 5 teachers - Willows will be taught by Mr Towler and Hazel will be taught by Mrs Oxby.
