Dear Parents and children,
I am really looking forward to welcoming you back to school tomorrow. When you come in you will see that books have been put out where you will be sitting for the first session. All you will need to do is to come in, put your coat on any peg in the cloakroom and then find your place. This place is only for the first session so please don’t worry if you aren’t by a friend.
Below is an overview of the term. There is a copy of this on the information tab at the top. This will stay there so that you can refer to it during the term.
Welcome to our Class
We are Year 5. Our teacher is Mr.Morris who is well supported by Mrs.Howland and Miss Lewis.
Class Rules and Weekly Timetable
We have very simple rules:
Try our best and be kind to all.
PE will be on a Wednesday and a Friday. For these days the children are to come into school wearing their PE kit.

Dear Parents,
Welcome to Year 5.
I like all of the children to know what is going to be happening in the class as I feel this helps calm any nerves. To help with this I include the Overview planning 1st half term.
This lets you know what we will be covering over the next few weeks. For more detail for some subjects I have included the following: History Medium Term Planning, Subject Plan Overview scratch, Subject Plan Overview PSHE, Subject Plan Overview RE
and Forces Medium Term Planning.
There may be times when this overview is not covered as there may be other things that are happening during that week.
In order to help your child I would be really happy if you could help them learn their times tables. Ideally they should know ALL of their times tables by the end of Year 4. I like the site Times tables as it enables the children to practise any table in and out of order.
During Year 5 and 6 the children have a list of spellings they need to be able to spell. These will come up in spelling tests and will be expected to be used in written activities. Their time in these two years will go very quickly and so help with spellings will be appreciated. The list of words is here.
The children have been given emails and login details and they will now be able to login to edplace. The user name is Room7 and the password Pontesbury1. This site allows the children to work on topics for maths, English and science at any level from Year 1 to Year 11. Topics are explained then completed online. If answers are incorrect the correct answers are explained. This really is a tremendous site.
In class this term I will be supported by Mrs Howland and Miss Lewis. On some occasions Mrs Green will also be in the class.
Hopefully this will be a fantastic year for all of us. Please remember that my email is Nigel.Morris@ppce.co.uk. If you have any questions then please get in touch.
Many thanks, Mr Morris
