AWESOME ASH
Year 5
Class Teacher - Miss Malik
Teaching Assistant - Mr Grady
Welcome to the Awesome Ash class page!
Year 5 is an exciting year where children build independence, resilience, and a love of learning as they move through upper Key Stage 2. I am Miss Malik, the class teacher, and I am supported by Mr. Grady, our dedicated Teaching Assistant.
In Year 5, we aim to create a positive and supportive classroom where every child feels confident to achieve their best. From exploring rich texts in English to tackling challenges in maths and discovering fascinating topics across the wider curriculum, we want pupils to be inspired and motivated every day.
We look forward to an amazing year of learning, growth, and new experiences together!
Our Year 5 Long Term Plan
Homework
Homework is an important part of learning. It helps children to develop independence, take responsibility for their own work, and practise the skills we are learning in class. All homework will be linked to the work we are doing in school so that it is meaningful and supportive.
Homework will be set every Friday and should be completed and returned before the following Friday.
Class Dojo
We will continue to use Class Dojo to award points, share updates on your child’s behaviour and achievements, and communicate important school messages. You can also use the messaging function for any other communication.
Please remember that all absences and illnesses must be reported directly to the school office.
For any face-to-face queries, you are welcome to speak to me at the end of the day, or you can contact the office to arrange an appointment.
Reading at Coppice Farm
The children should have now all bought home their new Reading Diary for the year as well as books to read and enjoy at home. It is expected the children read 4 x per week with this being recorded in their diaries. These will be checked each Friday so please make sure they are in school.
Your child should now have two books to read at home – one will be a book banded book appropriate to where they have been assessed in school with the other being a ‘Reading for Pleasure Book’. The R4P book will sometimes be a higher degree of difficulty than their current ability so please help them where needed. The children have picked this book after visiting the library so will be something they are interested in.
We have a list in school of the Reading for Pleasure books the children have taken out of the library and these will be expected to be returned before another is issued.
PE
This year, the class will have P.E every Tuesday and Friday
All children are to arrive at school wearing their P.E. kit on Tuesday and Friday.
Please make sure your child is wearing the appropriate kit on the day!
Earrings must be removed or covered up on PE days.
