Welcome to Year 5
The Year 5 team is made up of class teacher, Miss McDonagh and teaching assistants Mrs Carson and Mrs Shorbagy, who are with us every morning.
We are looking forward to a fantastic year full of hard work, dedication and progress but also lots of fun!
We have lots of exciting things ahead such as learning about Tudor England and Ancient Greece, learning to paint, cook, and sew in D&T, and looking at different habitats such as our oceans and deserts. We will focus on the importance of the Earth's oceans and how we can protect them, and hope to go on an eco-themed class trip.
Of course, we also have our end of year residential trip to Alton Castle to look forward to, where we will work on problem-solving and team-building exercises, and we can reflect on our faith.
Key information you may need to know:
Our PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays so please remember to wear your PE kit on those days.
Our weekly spelling list, maths and grammar homework is given out on a Friday and needs to be returned on a Friday.
Children are also asked to be practising their timestables at home, using their Times Table Rock Stars login, as well as regular reading at home with their accelerated reader login.
At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
