YEAR 5 HOMEPAGE
We have two classes in Year 5:
5H – Ms Hanley

Mr Ivo will be supporting us in class this year.
Pupils are also supported by members of our fabulous EAL and SEN teams.
Autumn Term 2023
Lessons begin at 8:50am every day - please try to be on time.
The gates will open at 8:40am so you can all be in class and ready to learn when lessons begin.
Please line up sensibly along the fence at the Stockport Road entrance gate and wait for a teacher to open the gate. Do not block the pavement or go near the road please.
Our Curriculum
In Year 5, we love to learn and our curiosity is fostered through our enquiry-based curriculum!
Please view the topics and key questions below to find out more about our learning:
Online Learning Platform
We are using Class Dojo as our learning platform and every child and parent has their own log in. If you change device or lose your password, then please contact school as soon as possible.
Class Dojo is the easier and most efficient way for teachers, parents and pupils to stay in touch. Class announcements, reminders, homework and photos will be posted there so please check it regularly! There is also a private messaging function so parents can contact teachers directly.

Homework:
Homework will be handed out every Friday to be completed and returned on Mondays. Usually, the children will receive Maths and English homework as well as reading and spellings. However, they are also expected to practise their times tables daily. Please support and encourage your children in their out-of-school learning.
Home-school projects are also regularly set in order for pupils to give pupils the opportunity to transfer their skills, express their creativity and share their learning at home.

Reading
Children have their own reading books which should be brought into school every day and they are expected to read every night for 10-20 minutes. This will help them to develop their fluency, expression, accuracy and comprehension skills. Parents are kindly asked to write a comment in their child's reading record after listening to them read. Your child will receive a new reading book by the end of each week if they have shown that they have read and understood it.
Feel free to contact your child's class teacher via Class Dojo or the school office at: admin@st-lukes.manchester.sch.uk
