Cosmos 2024-2025 (Year 5)
Welcome to Cosmos.
Our class teacher is Miss Dixon and our teaching assistant is Mrs Fleming.
Year 5 Class Information
Doors open at 8.35am ready to start work at 8.45am and we finish at 3.15pm.
We enter via the Year 5 cloakroom and exit via the classroom door. If you have signed the form for your child to leave the school premises without an adult, please ensure they are aware of any prior arrangements you have made with them.
Please be prompt for pick up and drop offs. I will also try my best to be on time but please consider that the children do not leave the classroom door until 3.15pm.
All children need a water bottle and a book bag in school every day.
PE kits need to be in school every day. PE kit should consist of a red top, dark shorts and trainers. PE will be outside as well as inside so please make sure children have outdoor PE shoes. As the weather gets colder, they may wear a warm top and bottoms if they wish.
It is very important that your child’s belongings are all clearly named so they can easily be returned if lost.
Year 5 Homework
Reading
Children should read at home for at least 10 minutes, 5 days a week, with a grown up. This will help with their fluency and understanding. Please record this in their home reading records. Extra breaktimes will be given to children who read 5 times at home!
Online Homework
Homework will be set on a Friday afternoon and due back in the following Friday morning.
Children will have 10 spellings in their spelling journal to learn each week.
The children will be introduced to Learning By Questions (LBQ). They will be assigned one Maths, Reading and SPAG activity on this platform each week. The children will be given a code to access this at home. Any device is compatible with LBQ, including tablets, phones, laptops and game consoles.
If you have difficulties accessing the internet, please inform Mr Chapman or Miss Dixon. LBQ will be accessible Friday, Monday Tuesday and Wednesday.
Our homework policy indicates that children who do not complete these activities sufficiently, will have to complete this during a breaktime.
Any questions or concerns please contact our school office and we will get back to you.
Thank you,
Miss Dixon
