Welcome to Year 5!

We hope you have all had an excellent summer (we can’t wait to hear all about it) as we welcome you back into school and into the upper juniors! The classroom is ready to go- all we need is you brilliant children to make it a home. There are so many exciting learning opportunities in Year 5, along with leadership opportunities that can really bring out the best in your child. Can you remember our ‘BIG WORDS’ from our transition morning back in July?

Don’t forget to come equipped with your own pencil cases, making sure you have all you need in there but please make sure they are small enough to fit in your trays at the end of the day.

  • Art in on a Tuesday- please remember to bring in your art tops to stop your uniform from getting paint on- we will keep this in our trays. THERE WILL BE NO ART THIS WEEK. THIS WILL START UP ON 10TH SEPTEMBER.

  • Outdoor PE is on a Wednesday. On these days you need to make sure you wear tracksuits but also have a pair of shorts either under your trousers or in your bag to get changed in to.

  • Indoor PE days will be on a Thursday. Same uniform requirements as outdoor PE lessons. All earrings and watches will need to be removed for all PE lessons.

  • Homework- will go out on Friday afternoons and will be due in the following Thursday.

Induction information will be sent out next week, so please look out for when it will be. You will be able discover more about the exciting opportunities and topics that they will be learning during their time in Year 5 and we can answer any questions you may have! More information, such as important forms that will need completing will be available soon so please do keep checking the Year 5 page.

Important Notices:

  • Please make sure all coats and school uniform is labelled- let’s get off to a good start.
