Welcome to Year 5 Class Page
This year in Year 5 Mrs Kerr will be your teacher.
We are also supported by our class’s teaching assistant – Mrs Tate.
We use Class Dojo as a reward system in class alongside rewards. There is a facility on here for you to contact the class teacher via private message if you have any questions or concerns about anything.
We also have a trip to Murton Park at the end of March to support our WW2 History Topic.
PE
PE days: Monday & Wednesday
Please could you ensure that your child has their trainers as well as their full indoor and outdoor kit every week (as the weather is so unpredictable and we are now entering the cold, winter months!)
Rewards
We have a range of rewards for Year 5 this year.
Dojos: Children can earn dojo’s and every term the top 3 earners will win a small prize.
Raffle tickets : Daily, children can earn a raffle ticket for following rules, being kind, helpful etc. Between 1-3 people will be picked from the raffle to earn a daily prize.
Spin the Wheel: One child will receive a spin of the wheel at the end of each week. (Children can earn 5 minutes extra play for the whole class, a treat for themselves and a friend or individual prizes)
Half termly: As a class children earn pom poms in a jar (one pom pom = one minute). Each half term as a class they choose a reward e.g. hot chocolate and extra play for the minutes they have earned working together as a class.

Maths: Times Table Rock Stars /Maths consolidation of the work completed in the week
Spellings: Weekly spelling linked to Spelling Shed games.
