Year 5 - Mrs Millane

'Where everybody is somebody'

Fabulous Fox Class

Mrs Avison, Mrs Tyler and I would like to wish you a very warm welcome to Year 5! 

We do hope you have all had a wonderful summer break and are ready for an exciting new year! We are looking forward to welcoming you back, so we can start our learning journey, full of curiosity, challenges and celebrations!

Please keep browsing our class page for important updates, resources to support, timetables and most importantly, the children's learning.  

We feel that open lines of communication between the parent/ guardian, child and teacher are the key components to promoting a positive educational climate which is conducive to learning. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school to arrange a time, or if you wish, drop me an email:

Looking forward to seeing you all, Mrs Millane.  

Homework reminder 

Similar to last year, your child will be set homework which links with the learning taking place within the classroom. We encourage you to support your child with the tasks which have been set, alongside listening to your child read at least three times a week. 

NB: If your child is struggling with their homework, please ask for help.

Maths

• Given out on a Friday -  to be handed in the following Wednesday.
• 10 minutes of TTRockstars each week (this will support your child's learning and overall understanding).

Reading

• Your child needs to read at least 3 times a week, with their reading record book signed by an adult.
• Your child’s reading book and records MUST be brought in daily, to monitor reading between home and school. We value any comments made by parents/ guardians in relation to reading.
• Similar to last year, your child will receive a raffle ticket for the number of times they read to an adult each week (1 raffle ticket every 2 reads). These tickets will then be entered into a raffle, where your child could win a prize!
• Reading at home, as well as school, is a fantastic way of supporting your child’s learning. Discussing books and providing meaningful reading opportunities outside the classroom can foster a lifelong love of reading. 
• Ask your child about the Hot Chocolate Loyalty Card.

Spellings 

• Spellings and an activity will be given out each Monday, to be returned the following Monday to be tested.
• The activities are there to help your child understand the meaning of the word. 

P.E

• Monday - Indoor / Wednesday - Outdoor (weather permitted)
• Your child will need black/ navy shorts, white T-shirt, joggers and a long-sleeved top with plimsolls or trainers. 
• For safety reasons, pierced ears covered, if unable to take out and long hair to be tied back.
