Year 5

Class Teachers- Miss Jago

 

Hello, I am Miss Jago. I love teaching all age groups and enjoy watching all of the children grow up and learn many new things as they move up through the school. I enjoy the outdoors and I have a horse called Indie and two dogs called Spruce and Willow. When I am not competing with Indie or walking the dogs I love to cook.

 

We hope that you find the information here useful! If you require any more information, please contact us and we will do our best to help. The following notes outline some important routines that should help us all to have an organised and happy year.

Children will be given their spellings and maths facts in their planner in the week and will be tested on the following Monday. The scores will be recorded in the planners and please could you initial to confirm that you have seen them. Your help and support with spellings is greatly appreciated.

Children need to regularly read at home – 30 minutes per day either to an adult or independently. Reading is recorded in the children’s planner. Please can you sign their planner to confirm reading has been completed and feel free to write in the comments box as required. They have reading books from school, but may also read newspapers, magazines and anything of interest in addition to these. This will hopefully develop their love of reading and improve their literacy and spelling skills. The planners are checked weekly and targets to further develop specific reading skills are set during your child’s guided comprehension sessions.

PE
Currently children have daily structured PE sessions. At present they do not require a school PE kit, but must wear suitable shoes everyday.

Any medication must be handed into the office and will be administered by Mrs. Overfield. Those children prescribed with inhalers will keep these in a class box within the Year 5 classroom in order to ensure ease of access.

There are many opportunities for school visits during Year 5, therefore there will be numerous letters for your children to bring home from school. Please encourage your children to bring letters back as soon as possible as consent is required. If a child does not bring back their consent form, this may mean they are unable to participate in the visit. An annual consent form has already been signed for the year, and this covers many local visits.

Please remember that children are not allowed to wear jewellery or make-up in school, and shoes should be black in colour and smart in style.

Thank you for your anticipated support this year. I am really looking forward to working with your children.
