Year 5

Welcome to Year 5

Welcome to Year 5 at Hazel Grove Primary School!

Meet the Team

Our teaching team includes Miss Lennox and Miss Dempsey (Class Teachers), and Mrs Ellis (Teaching Assistants).

Our Bookshelf

Our bookshelf texts are:

  • ‘The Man Who Walked Between the Towers’ by Mordicai Gerstein
  • ‘Hidden Figures’ by Margot Lee Shetterly
  • ‘The Good Thieves’ by Katherine Rundell
  • ‘Percy Jackson’ by Rick Riordan
  • ‘A Kid in My Class’ by Rachel Rooney and Chris Riddell

The ‘bookshelf’ is a new term for our ‘class readers’, where the children can choose a ‘special’ book for a few days. We will also be doing much of our English work from these books.

Important Information

  • We are timetabled to have PE every Tuesday with Mr Sykes.
  • Please remember to have your Reading Record in your bag each day.
  • You can choose one book from your book band, and another book of your own free choice.
  • Reading is our most important Home Learning so you should aim to read for at least 15 minutes at home each day.
  • Spellings are sent home for each half term and will be tested each Friday. Spare spelling lists are available if you need one (on the teacher’s bookshelf).
  • You need to keep practicing your times tables using Times Tables Rock Stars
  • Home Learning is not set on a specific day, but the teachers regularly suggest tasks that link to our class work (eg: topic research or fact-checking). This work can be brought into school at any time.
