 For help, advice and queries, you can email your child's class teacher at dumbledore@reddalhill.sandwell.sch.uk and they will assist you as soon as they can. 

You can also send your child’s class teacher a message on class Dojo and track your child’s work and progress too!

Important information about us!

Teacher: Mrs Powell

LSP: Ms Giles

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 Tuesday and Thursday.

Homework:

All weekly homework will be related to the children's learning from the week. This will include English, Maths and Spelling 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 it 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 be awarded Gold Level!
There is also a Platinum level when you read over 50 books! 

Good Luck Dumbledore Class!
