Dumbledore Class 2025-2026

Important information about us!

Teacher: Mr Stokes

LSP: Mrs Southen

Important Information:

In Year 5, our school day begins at 8:30am and finishes at 3:10pm.

 Children can bring a named water bottle which needs to contain only water or squash.

Children can bring a small healthy snack with them to school to eat at break time such as: fruit or raisins.

On Tuesday and Thursday the children can order a piece of toast as a break time snack for 20p. 

Your child will also be given a reading book specific to their reading level. We would like the children to read as much as they can at home and record this in their reading record. 

PE:

Our PE sessions are every Monday and Wednesday.

Homework:

All weekly homework will be related to the children's learning from the week. This will include English and Maths homework. 
All homework will be set on a Friday and should be returned to school by the following Friday.

Each half term, the children will also receive a homework grid of curriculum-based activities. They must complete a minimum of three activities from the grid and bring them into school. We are looking forward to seeing your creativity! 

Read to Succeed:

We are holding a reading challenge again this year! Every time you read, write in your reading record. For every comment, you will earn a point. When you reach 45 points, you will be awarded the Bronze Level; when you reach 90 points, you will be awarded Silver Level and for 135 points, you will be awarded Gold Level!
There is also a Platinum level when you read over 50 books! 

Good Luck, Dumbledore Class! 

Mathletics, Spelling Shed, TTRS and Purple Mash.

Children can access these websites from home. Each child has an individual username and password. Mathletics is an excellent resource which allows children to practise their mathematical skills.
