Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to our new class page! We are looking forward to a fabulous, fun filled remainder of the Autumn term. 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. However, please do not read the class texts on which their learning journeys are based at home. We will enjoy reading them with the children in school. 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 once a 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 have their PE on:

• Monday is outdoor PE.

• Wednesday is indoor PE.

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

Important Dates:

• University of Nottingham assembly date: 27th January 2026

• University of Nottingham trip tbc

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,

Mr Marshall
