Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to our class page and to Year 5! We hope you had a lovely summer holiday and are looking forward to an exciting new school year. Below, you will find information about homework and routines, our class timetables, the year group curriculum letter, and our class assembly dates. There are also links to helpful resources and websites.

Homework & Routines

Homework will be set on Monday and should be completed by the following Monday. Homework will include weekly spelling homework (on Spelling Shed) and maths practice (on MyMaths). In addition, children should be practising their times tables (on TT Rockstars) and daily reading.

Reading at home is very valuable, and we encourage children to read regularly as part of their homework. Around 30 minutes each evening is recommended. Thank you.

These are our homework expectations:

• Reading daily (20-30 minutes every day).
• Weekly Maths practice.
• Spellings are to be learnt and will be tested throughout the following week.
• Times Table Rockstars at least once a week.

Please ensure that your child brings their Reading Record into school, with a comment, each day.

Things to remember:

Children should come to school in their PE kits on their PE days. Year 5 has their PE on:

• Monday (outdoor PE)

• Wednesday (indoor PE)

PE kit should include a dark tracksuit, joggers or shorts, a white T-shirt, and trainers.

Important Dates:

• University of Manchester assembly date: tbc (Spring term 1)

• Trip to the Science Museum - Monday, 19th October, 2026

We hope the above is useful. If you have any questions or require any help, please contact me via class email year5@northsidesch.org or the class phone.

Thank you for your continued support.

Happy learning!

Kind regards,

Ms Greenhill
