Class Information
Year 5 Class Teacher: Miss C Foster
I’m absolutely delighted to be teaching Year 5 this year! It’s such an exciting stage in primary school where children grow in independence, curiosity, and confidence. We have a fantastic year ahead filled with rich learning experiences, new challenges, and lots of opportunities to explore and grow.
Here’s to a wonderful year of learning, laughter, and unforgettable memories in Year 5!
Welcome to Cedar Class (Year 5)
Throughout the year, the children are taught all the subjects from the National Curriculum. Most subjects are taught each week, but some will alternate fortnightly as this enables us to focus fully on the units of work. We will be welcoming Mr Singer each week to teach ukulele to the children. We are looking forward to some fabulous trips beginning with an exciting visit to the Science Museum in November, where pupils will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of scientific concepts through hands-on exhibits and interactive learning experiences.
Year 5 pupils will have the opportunity to take on classroom responsibilities to develop their leadership and organisational skills, such as table leader or lunch monitor. This gives every child the chance to contribute to the smooth running of the class and take pride in their role.
We also place a strong emphasis on the importance of home learning in Year 5. Regular practice at home with reading and spelling, but also additional English and maths work linked to our class learning, this helps reinforce key skills and builds confidence. Home learning encourages independence, responsibility, and good study habits in preparation for the challenges of upper Key Stage 2 and beyond. We greatly appreciate the support of families in making home learning a positive and consistent part of each child’s routine.
