Year 5 - 5K

September 2024

Welcome to 5K

The adults in 5K are Mrs Khanna (Class Teacher) and Mrs Colman (Teaching Assistant). 

Our concept this year is Ethics and our central enquiry is How do you judge ethicality? We will be teaching the curriculum through this concept, exploring challenging ideas, such as:

• Should there be ethical considerations in Science?

• Do ethical values define us? Why?

• Should we judge history based on our modern understanding of ethics?

We are excited to spark debate and help them to develop their own moral compass.

School day

The school day starts at 8.40 and finishes at 3.10. Please be on time arriving and collecting your child from school.

If your child is unwell, please inform the office as soon as possible.

PE

Our PE days are Mondays and Fridays. Please ensure your child has a labelled PE kit for these days and remove earrings.

Uniform and Equipment

Children should wear the school uniform every day and should not be wearing jewellery to school. Please ensure all items of clothing are labelled.

Children should also bring in a named water bottle.

They should not bring any other equipment as everything they need is provided by the school.

Reading

Reading is an essential part of development and so we expect children to read every day as this will help them to succeed and understand the world around them. Children can read independently, to you and you can read to them.

I look forward to working with you all this year. If you have any questions, we are here to help and support you. Please make an appointment to see me if you have anything you wish to discuss.

Thank you,

Mrs Khanna
