5BL and 5JM
Welcome to Year 5
Our Typical Year 5 Timetables
Key Information
- Full PE kit to be worn on Tuesday.
- Library day is Friday.
Communicating with your child's class teacher:
Our direct year group email is year5@st-matthews.leeds.sch.uk. As both classes use this email, please make it clear in the subject line who the email is for (FAO Mr Barlow, Mrs McLean or Miss Li).
Names in clothing:
Please ensure that your child's clothing is clearly labelled with their name so their clothing can be rightfully returned (should it be taken off).
Homework
- Each week, spellings will be set to learn. They will be uploaded onto Google Classroom on Monday so you can access them there.
- MyMaths homework will also be set weekly, the children will access this in the usual way and complete the homework related to our topic in class. This will be set on a Friday and the children will have a week to complete the task.
- In addition, there will be a weekly homework task set on Google Classroom which the children will need to complete and submit for us to mark. This will be a grammar homework.
- We would like all children to complete 15 minutes of TT Rockstars a few times each week too. Peridoically, there will be TT Rockstars battle between the Year 5 classes or girls v boys.
