Year 5 2023 - 2024

Welcome to the Year 5 Class Page

Mrs Burtoft and Miss Gibson

5B have PE lessons on Thursdays

5S have PE lessons on Thursdays

Both classes have swimming on Tuesdays until Christmas

We test spellings on a Friday

We test times tables every day 

Our homework is to read to an adult at home and practise our times tables and spellings in order to ensure we make the best possible progress during our time in Year 5. 

We encourage children to access TTRockstars to help them learn their times tables. We also run weekly TTRockstars sessions in school.
