Contacting Us
The best way to contact the year 5 team is by either contacting the office, to which they will pass any messages on, or emailing via: year5@stjosephs.rbksch.org
Alternatively, please do not hesitate to speak to me at the end of the day on the playground during pick up.
Reading Books
All children have a reading book and a reading record diary that they are asked to take home and share with parents and carers. When they have read their book, children are able to change them when they arrive at school each morning. Please try and listen to your child read daily at home. Children are to read at least 5 times a week. After each time, they are to fill in the reading record with the date, what they read, the page numbers and to then get a parent/carer to sign it.
Home Learning
Maths, English and Spellings are handed out every Friday and need to be handed back in to the class teacher on the following Wednesday. As part of home learning, Year 5 are expected to complete activities and challenges via the Times Tables Rock Stars and Reading Eggs websites. One Reading Egg challenge must be completed per month and Times Tables Rock Stars challenges weekly.

PE
Our PE days are TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY. Please ensure your child has the correct kit for this. No jewellery is permitted.
Music with Kingston Music Service (KMS)
This year, the children will be learning how to play the ukulele, delivered weekly by KMS. Ukuleles will be provided by the school. Children may be asked to take ukuleles home in order to practice material learnt in class. These MUST be returned to school every week for their ukulele lessons.
