Learning

In Hawk class, the aim of all our learning is focused around making you, as learners, confident and independent. At the end of year 5, you will be learners who are confident and willing to try out new skills and ideas. The key to learning in year 5 particularly, is about developing a mindset that will allow you to take risks in the knowledge that if something goes wrong, then it's not anything to worry about, rather it is a brilliant opportunity to learn something and try again. You will never fail at anything if you don't give up on it. 

What to wear and bring to school

All pupils should come to school in school uniform and with a school bag. Pupils should pack a water bottle, hat and any pencil case/stationery that they may want to use. Please make sure all personal items are labelled with your child’s name. On PE days we are asking children to come into school in PE kits rather than school uniform.

Termly timetable and homework

Your child will receive a timetable at the start of each term. This will also be sent out and put on the class web page. Homework will be primarily set via Google classroom each term – where possible submission should also be on Google classroom (unless something more tactile like a model/cooking etc). As with previous years the homework will be based on the 100 point challenge. If at any point you would like extra support work for your child please contact me and I can provide appropriate support.

End of the day

The school day ends at 3.10pm – if you would like to grant permission for your child to walk home independently at the end of the day then please complete the Google form on the link below. The permission window remains open - you may sign up at any point or withdraw permission should you need to. 

Please note that permission for independent walking ends at the end of the academic year and new permission will be needed for the following year.

Communication

If you have any queries about the daily routine or what your child is learning then do not hesitate to get in touch. Please refer to our email addresses on the first page. We will always endeavour to reply to you as soon as possible, occasionally this may take longer than we would like but we will always aim to get back to you within 24 hours during the school week.
