Welcome to Chestnut Class

Year 5 will prove to be an exciting and fun year for your children. As they learn, grow and thrive, we will fully support them with developing their resilience, independence and their confidence. As they begin to approach the very top of the school, so expectations rise of their behaviour and work ethic, preparing them for the rigours of their final year.

Daily Requirements

Packed in a reasonable size bag:

• Reading book and reading record - these will be checked each morning
• Homework
• Water bottle
• Fruit snack for break time
• Coat for wet / cold weather

PE

On Wednesday the children are to come into school in their school uniform, ready to change at lunchtime into their PE kit. Whatever the weather, PE will go ahead, so on rainy days please ensure the children have a spare set of PE clothes in case they need to change if they get wet.

Homework

This can be found online at atomlearning.co.uk with both science and maths being set weekly. I will expect the children to read daily (where possible), learn spellings for weekly spelling test (Year 5 prescribed spellings) and times tables practice.

Spelling

This week's spellings can be found as a PDF further down the page for a test on Tuesday 20th September

If you would like to get in touch or arrange a meeting, please email using the school office email: office@hever.kent.sch.uk
