Year 5 & 6 (UKS2)

Welcome to our Year 5/6 class page 

Currently in Year 5/6 we have four classes; two Year 5 classes, 5R and 5S, and two Year 6 classes 6L and 6P.   As a year 5 &6 team, we work closely with each other and follow the same rules, routines and ethos. Year 5 and 6 children work with their class teacher for the majority of the day.

Each morning, a member of the Year 5/6 team will be on the gate to welcome the children into school and to take any messages/questions from parents. Registration is between 8.45-8.55am. On a typical day, the children will be taught reading, English and maths in the morning with the afternoons consisting of other subjects such as history, music, science, PE etc.

Key information: 

• Please make sure your child brings a named water bottle each day. 

• Please make sure all belongings are named as this ensures they can be returned to you much quicker.

• Children can bring their own healthy snack from home for playtime. NO nuts allowed. 

• Information about uniforms can be found here.

PE: 

Year 5 PE days in the Autumn are Wednesday (swimming) and Thursday.  

6L and 6P have PE on Wednesday and Friday afternoons.

Details about PE kit can be found here.

Homework: 

• Children have a White Rose homework book, where work is linked to their current maths learning - at times, there will be a worksheet instead.  Children will also receive a weekly spellings (copies in their reading diaries) and reading comprehension task.    You will also find knowledge organisers for each topic  on Google Classrooms to go through with your child. 

• Children are expected to read each night at home;  we check that this is recorded a minimum of 3 times a week in their reading record. 

• Messages/ updates are posted on our Facebook and also via email. 

• Numbots, TTRS and Google classroom logins can be found in your child’s reading diaries. 

Curriculum

Information about the school curriculum can be found here.  Further details regarding the current learning will have been shared on an email AND is also available on Google Classroom.

If you have any questions, then please do get in touch. You can email us on uks2parents@edgarsewterprimary.co.uk or speak to a member of the team at the gate.  Do ring the office to make an appointment to speak with a specific teacher. 

Many thanks, 

Year 5/6 team
