Year 5

Our wonderful year 5 cohort is taught by Mrs Dables, Mrs Roberts ,Mrs Simcox and Mr Pidcock, supported by our teaching assistants Mrs Buxton-Hart, Mrs Ault & Miss Clark.. Our PE is Thursday when there is no swimming. When we are swimming, lessons will take place on Friday afternoon at William Gregg Leisure Centre in Heanor. Pupils will be dismissed from school at the normal time (3pm)

What's life like in Year 5?

We use Class Dojo to communicate with families and carers, and are very proud to say that 100% of our parents are signed up to it!
We can change our reading books as often as needed;
We're getting even better at reading and understanding texts because we read five times per week at home and we really enjoy our Themed Reading lessons in school;
Some of our year five are on the leader board for Times Tables Rockstars and rightly so as their rapid recall is immense;
Our learning behaviours show our Academy values of: Respect, Confidence, Determination, Enthusiasm, Aspiration and Kindness.
We come to school in our PE kits when it's PE day;
We stick to our school motto: Live, Laugh, Learn.

What are we learning?

Year 5 Curriculum Overview

We have an amazing curriculum In Year 5 & we have planned visits and experiences to make learning memorable and real.

Year 5 and 6 spelling words:

RSHE

With a renewed and passionate understanding of the importance of teaching children about relationships, health (including mental health), and social skills, we teach RSHE weekly, and it also interlaces within most of our other subjects, class novels and class assemblies. We want all of our children to be happy, confident, well-rounded individuals.
