YR5 - Emma Carroll

Welcome to the Year 5 class page!

Hello from us!

Our class is named after the author Emma Carroll. Over the year we will be reading some of her books and finding out all about her.

In upper Key Stage 2, we have very high expectations of behaviour so that we can set a fabulous example to the younger children in the school. We are all Take Care learners - we take care of each other, ourselves, our work and our world.

What’s expected of Year 5 at home...

It is evidently proven that the best way for children to thrive and achieve is with a secure and consistent approach at school and at home! 

It is expected that each week your child should:

• Read at home at least 4 times a week – please remember to sign your child’s reading diary and ensure that the reading book and diary are brought back into school. We love to give out Dojos and reward children who read!
• Times Tables practice on TTRS (see useful links)– children will be offered challenges on TTRS – can they beat their teachers’ scores and help their class to win battles against other classes?
• Creative homework will be sent out half termly it is linked to our topic- these are lovely activities which you can all get involved with at home and create some wonderful things as a family!
• Wider home learning tasks should be completed by the dates given.

All children have been given their log on information; this can be found in their reading diary. Please keep this safe. Children will earn Dojo points for completion of homework. I understand some may not have access to digital devices or internet at home, please let me know if this is an issue for your family and I will support you in resolving this!

P.E:

Year 5 can come into school wearing their PE kit on our PE days.

Class Dojo:

We do update class Dojo frequently and it is a great way of communicating. Please keep checking for messages on there. If you have any concerns or worries please don’t hesitate to get in touch, I am here to support you all as well as your children!

We are very excited to see what this year holds and even more excited to be working with each and every one of your children!

Mr Mistry
