Contacting Us:

If you would like to discuss your child’s learning or share any pastoral information (e.g. changes in circumstances at home, friendships) please contact the team on AskYear5@longfleet.coastalpartnership.co.uk , noting in the subject heading which teacher you would like to get in touch with. We will endeavour to get back to you as quickly as possible during the working week. For all non-learning matters (e.g. payments, clubs, pick-up arrangements), please contact Office@longfleet.coastalpartnership.co.uk 

PE:

PE days are Thursdays and Fridays. As the weather becomes colder, please be prepared with warmer clothing. In accordance with the school uniform policy, school jumpers or blue school hoodies can be worn alongside the house-coloured t-shirt. Tracksuit bottoms or leggings should be black, blue or grey. Underlayers should be house coloured or black. 

Reading Records:

Reading records and reading books are expected to be in school every day.
During a week children are expected to complete at least 3 reads at home and these must be recorded in the child’s reading record and signed by parent/guardian.
The reading record will be checked each Thursday and if the 3 reads are not completed your child will spend their Friday break or lunch time reading their book in Mrs Taylor's class!

Home Learning

This will consist of the following:

Reading: 3 reads each week. This can include a read from Reading Plus!

Spellings: Each week, spellings will be placed on the year group page of Google Classroom on Thursday morning and the children will be tested on the following Thursday afternoon. If your child does not learn their spellings, they will be asked to stay in during a lunch time to practise them.

Maths: Our maths homework is set on Freckle. Each child's group has a specific code which they should have with them in their Reading Record Book. Each Thursday, 2 Freckle activities will be set (10 questions each) and these will be found in their "rucksack" that they will need to complete by the following Wednesday. If your child scores below 70% in either of these activities - they should attempt the questions again.

SPAG: Each week the children will be set 2 activities from SPAG.com (Thursday). These need to be completed by the following Thursday.

Your child also has the option to complete TT Rockstars challenges and also to complete Reading Plus comprehension activities (as many times as they like).

All usernames and passwords should be in your child's Reading Record Book. 

Please click on the link to view our Year 5 Must Reads. These are texts specifically chosen for their rich vocabulary and their ability to "hook" the reader in. By the end of Year Five, all of these texts will have been accessed by the children: some in guided reading, others in our class reading time. They are also in our "special book boxes" if the children want to take them out for themselves!
