PLEASE KEEP THIS FOR YOUR RECORDS
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome your child into Year 5 and give you some information about the year ahead. During the year your child will be studying the core subjects Maths, English, Science and Information and Communication Technology and the foundation subjects History, Geography, Design Technology, Art, French, Music, P.E, and R.E.
Topics: Autumn Term – Cornwall Mining, Changing State, Gases around us.
Spring Term – Africa, Sound, Earth and Moon.
Summer Term – Tudors/London, All Living Things, Animals including Humans.
Throughout this year children from Year 5 are taken to local sites for specific studies. These are always teacher supervised, covered by the Academy’s policy of insurance and take place during normal hours. You will be informed separately of visits out of hours or away from Newquay which will need your approval.
Parent’s Role
Numeracy and literacy homework will be set as appropriate. This year numeracy homework will be set and completed on the MyMaths website (more information to come). A homework grid will be sent home at the beginning of each term where pupils have a choice of tasks. Please ensure that your child completes their homework to a high standard and that reading is recorded in the reading diaries.
Reading – It is essential that you encourage your child to read at home for a minimum of 15 minutes per day. Books are always available on loan from our academy library. We ask that parents monitor and sign their child’s reading record as appropriate.
P.E. Kit – Please ensure your child has a white T-shirt, black shorts and suitable trainers (tracksuit type clothing is welcome for colder days). Long hair will need to be tied back for safety. It would be advisable to keep your child’s P.E. kit in the academy all week.
Mobile Phones – These are allowed in the academy but must be given to the class teacher for safe keeping during academy hours and should only be turned on once pupils have left the premises.
Drinking Water – Your child needs to have access to regular drinking water throughout the day, so please ensure they bring their water bottle. Replacement bottles can be bought from the office for £1.
Attendance – We would also like to stress the need for a telephone call to the academy office 01637 874543 on the morning of absence. Any unauthorised, unnotified absences are registered.
Dinner Money – If your child would like to have dinner or tuck, please ensure that your child’s on-line ParentPay account is kept in credit.
Lost Property – Clothing and belongings should be NAMED so that they can be returned quickly if lost.
If you have any concerns please do not hesitate in contacting your child’s classteacher.
MRS MANN & MRS ELLIOT, MR SULLIVAN & MISS DAVY, MRS MARTINDALE and MISS LINNELL.
