Welcome to Year 5's class page!

This half term is another busy one in school.  Already, we have visited Clayton library, with lots of children signing up to become members.  We will be completing our entries for the Clayton writing competition soon, which is run by the library and a chance for the children to combine their writing with some fantastic art work.   Our celebration of books continues with World Book Day approaching.  The children have brought in so many books for our book swap and lots of lovely costumes have been donated - thank you!  Following world book day, we are fortunate to invite author Julia Edwards into school.  Julia will be talking to the children about her books, the Scar Gatherer series, and you will be able to buy signed copies if you wish.  Also, she will be running a writing workshop with the children.  

As the half term progresses, Year 5 will prepare their service of the Stations of the Cross which they will lead for the children across school in Holy Week.  Of course we welcome you as parents to join us too.

Our residential to Ingleborough is fast approaching, more information will be sent out about this soon.  The children are very excited!

As always, a reminder to make sure that your child has both their indoor and outdoor PE kit in school - you can find details of what this includes further down the page. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or queries,

 English Homework

English homework and spellings will be given on a Monday and due back in to mark in class on Thursday.  Our class spelling test will take place on Fridays.  

Please check your child's reading journal for which day of the week their book should be returned to school.  It is important that your child reads at home daily for 10-15 minutes, to an adult whenever possible. Please comment in the reading journal after listening to your child.

Maths Homework

Maths homework will be given on a Tuesday by Mr Kendall, due in on Friday to be marked in class. 

We ask that you encourage your child to plan out their week to ensure they are able to complete their homework.  If they are struggling with a task that has been set, please encourage them to ask myself or Mr Kendall for help. 

Homework must be signed by an adult once it is completed to say that you have seen it and are happy with their effort.

  PE  

PE lessons are on Mondays and Fridays.  Children will need both an indoor and outdoor kit, which should be in school at all times. 

Indoor kit: white t-shirt, blue shorts, socks and black pumps.

Outdoor kit: a plain blue tracksuit, white t-shirt, socks and trainers.
