Year 5 2026 - 2027
Mrs Richards
Welcome to Year 5
We are delighted to welcome you to Year 5 and can't wait to begin an exciting year of learning together! From discovering the power of poetry, enjoying our outdoor surroundings in Forest School and having Ukelele lessons, there will be plenty of opportunities for children to develop their love for learning.
We will also enjoy a wide range of enrichment experiences throughout the year, helping us to make meaningful connections with both the community/locality and the wider world.
Key Class Information
Forest School: Wednesday
PE: Tuesday
Please refer to the half-termly overview for more detailed information about clothing/uniform for Forest School and PE sessions.
Reading and Home Learning
Reading remains one of the most important ways you can support your child at home. We encourage children to read regularly, share books with family members and celebrate their growing confidence as readers. Children can also practise key maths facts through NumBots and Times Table Rock Stars to help develop fluency and confidence.
