Welcome to Sherwood Class!

I’m delighted to be Sherwood Class Teacher this year! Year 5 is a fantastic year, with lots of opportunities for children to grow in confidence, become more independent and develop their knowledge and skills. I’m looking forward to supporting every child to achieve their very best.

PE Days & Kit

Our PE day is Thursday. Please ensure your child comes to school with the correct PE kit and suitable footwear. For safety reasons, children should not wear earrings on PE days.

Swimming takes place on Friday afternoons. Please ensure your child brings the appropriate swimming kit. Boys must wear tight-fitting swimming shorts with no tassels or zips. Girls should wear swimming costumes only. Please ensure that long hair is tied back, no jewellery to be worn and that children have everything they need for their swimming session.

Equipment

There is no need for children to bring a pencil case or any stationery to school, as all the equipment they need will be provided.

Learning & Communication

You can find key information about what your child will be learning throughout the year in our Learning Overview. We will also share half-termly newsletters with further information about our learning, homework, PE, swimming and important dates.

Home Support

Your continued support at home is hugely appreciated and makes a real difference to your child’s learning. Regular reading, practising weekly spellings and times tables, and completing homework will all help your child to make excellent progress throughout Year 5.

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me via the school office. I’ll always be happy to arrange a phone call or a meeting after school.

I’m really excited about the year ahead and all the wonderful opportunities we have planned for Sherwood Class. Let’s make it a happy, successful and memorable year together.
