Welcome back everybody and welcome to Year 5! What a great start to the new academic year we have had already. We have created some fantastic and unique artwork based on Pablo Picasso in the first week and the children have started to settle into their classroom routines very nicely. Mrs Talati, Miss Patel and I have enjoyed getting to know the children and alongside Mrs Kenny, we are looking forward to the year ahead, it promises to be an exciting, enjoyable and educational one! We cannot wait to begin exploring the new topics we have planned for the class this year.

English, Maths and Guided Reading will be taught daily as part of a full curriculum. To see what your children are doing in class please take a look at the topic web part of the class page.

Children will be responsible for selecting their own reading books and writing the titles in their reading records. Parents and guardians, please sign and date to show that your child has read at home. This will be checked and signed daily. 

Children are expected to use TT Rockstars from home (if they have access). This has been a great success and children throughout the school have made good progress in learning their times tables.

Yoga will be on Wednesday afternoons and P.E. will take place on Friday mornings; the correct kits should be in school on these days. PE kit needs to remain at school and taken home every half term for washing unless it has become very dirty.

Weekly spellings will be handed out on a Thursday and tested on the following Friday. Spellings will be set on Purple Mash, a paper copy of the spellings can be provided upon request

If you have any concerns or need to contact me about your child, please use the following email EMYear5@englishmartyrs.lancs.sch.uk.
