Class 16

Class 16 is made up of 28 wonderful, unique Year 5 pupils. Our Class Teacher is Mr Meares and across Y5 there is a great team made up of Mrs Bailey and Mrs Brookes.

If you have any questions or concerns, the best time to catch us is after school or via our year group email – THPYear5@nclt.ac.uk. 

Our P.E days are Wednesday and Friday. Homework and spellings are due every Friday.

P.E.

Kits to be in school at all times but our PE days will be Mondays and Thursdays.

Homework

Homework is set weekly on a Friday and is due in the following Friday. This will alternate between English and maths (set once a fortnight by your child’s maths teacher). Spellings are sent home weekly. 

Spelling

Every Friday spellings are collected, tested and a new set will be sent home.  You will find these in our school planners. It is very important that spellings are practised and transferred into writing.

Reading

100% Weekly Reading Challenge

We are encouraging all children to develop a regular and enjoyable reading habit through our 100% Weekly Reading Challenge.

To achieve 100% each week, children need to read at least three times during the week and record their reading in their reading diary.

To make this even more rewarding, children can choose a prize from our reward menu when they have successfully completed their reading three weeks consecutively. Please note that the reward will only be given once all three consecutive weeks have been completed.

📖 Reading diaries will be checked every Friday, so please encourage your child to bring their reading diary into school every week. This allows us to celebrate their efforts, keep track of their progress and ensure they receive their reward when they reach the three-week milestone.

Thank you for your continued support in encouraging your child to read regularly. Three reads a week can make a big difference! 

Possible rewards could include:

  • A movie afternoon
  • A multi-sports session
  • An arts and crafts afternoon
  • Extra playtime
  • A trip to the local park
  • And many more exciting choices!

Thank you for your continued support in helping your child develop a love of reading.
