Year 5
Welcome to Year 5
Welcome to Year 5 at Hazel Grove Primary School!
Meet the Team
Our teaching team includes Mr Critchley and Mr Turner (Class Teachers), and Mrs Molyneux and Mrs Dippnall (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.
