Cherry Lane

Welcome to Year 5

Looking forward to an exciting and fun year ahead! It is our goal to provide all pupils with an educationally challenging, yet fun, experience in Year 5.

There are high expectations for your child and we will do all that we can to help your child achieve those expectations. We require children to be active learners and take responsibility for their learning.  They can do this at home by reading, learning spellings and completing maths & English homework.  We encourage all pupils to access Purple Mash online to enhance their learning, a huge range of resources are available free.  In school, they will be required to listen, follow our school rules and complete their tasks to the best of their ability. We expect all pupils to:

• Be respectful - respect should be shown not only in words but in actions also.
• Be responsible
• Be resourceful
• Follow the directions
• Raise their hand to speak
• Treat others with kindness
• Accept an adult's directions without answering back

We look forward to your active participation both in your child’s development and interaction with us. I am confident this home/school partnership will lead to the maximum improvement for your child in every aspect of his/her life.  By working together we will be able to better meet the needs of your child.

At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to the child's success is ​the positive involvement of parents.

At Cherry Lane we understand that learning is a partnership between home and school.  During the year we are likely to run a number of parent workshops to assist you in helping your child at home.  Look out for these opportunities.

I have enjoyed the parent workshops as they have made me feel more confident with helping my child at home.

Purple Mash is an exciting and safe online environment where children can get involved in all sorts of creative projects to support their learning in Literacy, Maths, Science, Computing, History, Geography, RE, Art, Music, and Design and Technology.

Your child has a Username and Password to access their Purple Mash account from home.

This personal login is unique to them and will enable them to access the different activities Purple Mash has to offer and to complete any homework that has been set by the class teacher.  Please click on the image below to access the materials.
