Dahl Year 5 Class

Welcome to Year 5!  We hope you have had a fabulous and relaxing summer break. This year will bring lots of exciting new topics to learn about, we can not wait to have all of our children back in school so we can dive into our first new topic 'There's no place like home', something we're currently rather used to! 

The structure of the school day will remain the same for KS2 with a 'soft start' between 8:30-8:45am and will finish at 3:20pm, please ensure you are here on time to collect your child from the school playground.

Please make sure you send your child into school with a named water bottle each day. 

Children will have a reading book to take home daily. The blue Reading Response books can be used to record any comments if you have heard your child read along with their reading response activities, this will all become clear in September. Home Learning will continue to go out weekly. 

We look forward to a year of fun and exciting learning with you.

The Year 5 Team
