Year 5a

Welcome to Year 5a

Our Team

Mr. Hartley

Mr. Hartley

 

I have now worked at St. Andrews for over 12 years in numerous positions and year groups. Most recently taking on the assistant head teacher role as well as being in Year 5 for the past five years. On a personal note I am very much into my sport. I have played and watched every sport you could think of at some point during my life, with football ranking at the top. I have also completed numerous types of events for charity. I also have a dog called Marley, who I love taking for long walks come rain or shine.  My favourite subjects are Maths and PE. I am most looking forward to teaching crime and punishment topic this year in Class 5a.

 

Miss. Dewhurst, Miss. Allen and Mrs. Standen

 

We are very lucky to have Miss. Dewhurst. Miss. Allen and Mrs. Standen helping us with us in Class 5a this year. Due to my role, there will be a couple of sessions throughout the week where I will be out of class. This is where these amazing staff will cover me. All lessons will be planned by myself and delivered alongside the curriculum.

 

Topics

The topics we will be covering this year are:

-Would I be able to live in South America?

-What is special about the regions of the UK?

-How is climate change harming our planet?

-Sutton Hoo and the book of Kells

-Crime and punishment

-Athens and Sparta

 

Homework

Children will be set English, Maths and/or Topic homework weekly. The homework will relate to the work we have been doing in class that week or the work we will be doing in the upcoming week. Homework will be set on a Friday and children can receive £3 (School money) if they bring it back on Monday, £2 Tuesday and £1 Wednesday. Homework club for help and support will be on Monday break time.

 

Key dates to remember

Your child’s PE lessons will take place on a Monday and Wednesday meaning children need to bring in their PE kits every Monday or be left in school. Full PE kit is expected during lessons with pumps that fit in case we decide to work outside and no jewellery is to be worn on this day. 

 

In Year 5 we have an open door policy. If you have anything that you would like to discuss, please don’t hesitate to come into school and speak to us. I will also be available on Dojo.

 

Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to the year ahead.
