Year 5
Our Vision
At Bury C of E Primary School,
We love one another and are forgiving of each other,
just as in Christ God forgave us.
We speak the truth in love and show proper respect to everyone.
This is an invitation to ‘Be More Jesus’.
Our Values

Forgiveness: Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32
Honesty: Speak the truth in love Ephesians 4:15
Respect: Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers (…) 1 Peter 2:17

General Reminders
- Your child may choose to bring fruit or vegetables for a break time snack.
- Our PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday. Your child needs to come into school wearing their PE kit on their PE day.
- Earrings should not be worn on P.E. days. If your child forgets to remove them, they must be removed by the child (not by staff) for PE. No responsibility can be taken for the custody of items when they are necessarily removed for PE.
- The children will need their own water bottle in school. Please make sure that they are clearly labelled.
- Please label all uniform/coats/shoes to ensure that it is identifiable and can be returned to the correct owner.

Life in Year 5
Homework
Homework runs Friday – Friday. It is absolutely vital that your homework is completed on time and completed at home. Reading is the corner stone of everything we do, so it is vitally important to hear your child read most nights!
In Year 5, the children are expected to:
- Read at home daily for at least 10-15 minutes (comments should be recorded in their reading record).
- Children will practise their times tables using the resource Times Tables Rockstars for a minimum of 30 minutes per week.
- Practise their spellings in preparation for their spelling test every Friday morning.
