Learning Together, Respecting Each Other

Welcome to 5G’s class page.

My name is Ms Garrity and I am the teacher of 5G. Our learning support assistants are Mrs Brown and Ms Graston.

Year 5 is a great year when we love seeing our children learn and develop so much. It is also an important year when children are expected to work hard and try their very best, to have a good attitude to learning and always be active in lessons. This prepares them well for the all important year 6.

In our class, we have an ethos of caring for each other and belonging. We are keen to help each other do our best and thrive and all children are encouraged to be good role  models and good friends. Our main values are kindness and respect for ourselves and others.

Information for Parents

Please feel free to come and see us at the end of the day if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment to speak about your child.

PE

 We have PE on Fridays. Please ensure your child has their correct kit.

READING

We love reading at Kingsley and encourage all children to read for pleasure every night. Reading is a gateway into all aspects of the curriculum. It supports the development of English fluency and writing skills. Please try and read with your child and talk about the books they enjoy. Please return books each week.

Reading Plus is a fantastic way to improve reading ages and comprehension skills. For homework, we ask children to complete at least 3 Reading Plus lessons per week, though many children do much more than this!

Times Tables

Accurate and quick recall of times tables are so important to be confident in many aspects of mathematics. All children have access to Times Tables Rockstars to enable them to develop speed and accuracy. Again, please help your child with this.

Homework 

By the end of each week, 5G are expected to:

1. Read at least three reading plus stories at home.
2. Participate in home reading from their book bag. (Preferably with parent/guardian.)
3. Participate in at least five TTrockstar sessions.

If you are unsure about any logins or how to access Reading Plus/TTrockstars please speak to Miss Garrity for support.

After school clubs

At Kingsley we are proud to offer a range of after school clubs. They are very popular and we have a lot of interest so children take turns to attend a variety of clubs across the year. Please bear this in mind, and if your child does not have a club yet they will get their turn eventually!

After school clubs change every half term.

Twitter - Year 5 regularly keep their Twitter feed up and running so please follow us and have a look at what we are up to in class at @KingsleyLpool  #Class5GA
