Hello Class Russia,
I am so excited to be your teacher this year! Let’s meet the Year 5 team: I am Miss Finnerty and I am the class teacher in Class Russia and in Class India we have Miss Aucutt! In Year 5 we already have so many exciting things planned including learning all about Anglo-Saxon Britain, Earth and Space as well as education visits! We will continue to immerse ourselves in the Spanish language with Yiaza every Friday and will be working with MGL to create 3D Models.
Attendance
Remember to be in school every day to achieve your full potential. Our class attendance can even improve our school school attendance percentage and we will be rewarded every day we have 100%.
Water Bottles
Water bottles need to have a sports cap. Please remember to take your water bottle home every night. It needs to be refilled at home and brought back to school the following day. Remember we learn best when we are hydrated.
This year our PE lessons will be on a Tuesday afternoon. For PE lessons, all children must have a Gwladys Street PE kit (white t-shirt, blue shorts and black pumps). You need sensible trainers that are suitable for outdoor PE.
Our first PE topic is handball.
We are so lucky to have Spanish lessons each week – every Friday Morning.
English and Maths basic skills homework is given out on a Friday and needs to be back in school for the following Wednesday to be marked for Friday. It is really important that your child is completing their homework weekly as this will consolidate all the learning we are doing in class.
Home Reading
As well as completing weekly homework, it is important to read with your children every day. This will ensure the children develop their word reading and comprehension skills which are very important in developing their knowledge. Reading books should be brought in daily and reading journal signed.
