Year 5
Teacher: Mrs Hamilton
Hello and welcome to Year 5 website. I will be adding what we will be learning each half term and then showing all the amazing work the children have been doing to this page and our social media page over each the year!
For parents, at St. Joseph’s we operate an open door policy and we are available at the end of the day, alternatively please get in touch by phoning the office or message on Class Dojo and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
General information:
Behaviour Standards: Our classroom ethos rests on three fundamental principles: READY, RESPECTFUL, and SAFE. Consistent adherence to these rules will be acknowledged through Dojos and recognition awards.
Physical Education: P.E lessons will be a Wednesday and Friday, correct uniform is needed on these days.
Homework: Your child will receive Maths, Spelling and Reading homework on a home learning log sheet that will be handed out on a Friday. This is to be completed at home in anyway you can and then when completed the home learning book is to be brought in or pictures/videos are to uploaded on to the child’s profile on Class Dojo. Children are awarded Dojo points for tasks that have been completed.
It is important to practise these skills at home to support their learning in school. Did you know that reading for 20 minutes a day improves brain health and builds a massive vocabulary? It introduces about 1.8 million words every year!
