Welcome to Year 5's Class Page!

We are a class of 22 children. We are very lucky to have lots of adults working with us in Year 5.

Our teacher is Mr Bragg and our wonderful senior teaching assistant is Miss Knott.

If you require any further information or have any queries, please contact Mr Bragg via Class Dojo or contact the school office.

Key Information:

• Our PE days are every Wednesday and Friday. 
• Read five times a week to achieve Strive for Five. This is checked by the adults daily. Children receive a raffle ticket each time they read at home which they sign and enter into our weekly reading raffle! There are lots of exciting prizes to be won.
• Snack is available at break time each day and costs 20p per day or £1 per week. There are a selection of options for the children to choose from each day. Snack money will be collected by the class teacher on Monday each week.

Our Curriculum

We have worked really hard to redesign our curriculum for Year 5 this year, making it more engaging, inclusive and cross-curricular, to engage the children's enthusiasm and promote an enjoyment of learning.

Please have a look through our curriculum map (below) to find out more information. This outlines our core topics for the year. We will keep you updated with your child's learning throughout the year via. Earwig, Class DOJO, on our webpage below and through parents meetings. 

We learn through a creative curriculum approach and have lots of exciting and purposeful activities that allow us to develop and grow through memorable, fun activities.

Year 5 Class Newsletters

Our Learning Challenge topic for Autumn 1 is: What is so special about the USA (North America)?

In this fascinating topic, we will learn what mountains, rivers and coasts actually are, some of the forces that help create and shape these important features, and the effects they have on the world around them.

We will explore the climates, human interactions, and lifestyles shaped by the mountains, rivers and coasts of the world.

Year 5 Class Councillors

Mayson and Priya have been voted as our Year 5 Class Councillors! They were each voted by their peers to represent our class. They will be responsible for creating fundraising events, voicing the opinions of their class and looking at ways they can generally improve our school as a whole.

Strive 4 Five!

In Year 4, we are all 'Reading Rockets'. We aim to read at least 5 times per week and are rewarded for our efforts with raffle tickets. These are entered into a weekly draw and children can win some brilliant prizes! 

Year 4 children will bring home 2 reading books. One book will directly match their current reading ability, and the other an Accelerated Reading book. Accelerated Reading books are used to help develop your child's comprehension skills and your child will sit regular (informal) online 'quizzes' to assess their comprehension of the story. 

Earwig and Class DOJO

Please access your child's Earwig and class DOJO page regularly for updates on, and photos capturing, their year 4 learning journey. 

If you have difficulty in accessing either of these, please let Miss Savage or the school office know and we will help you with this.
