A very warm welcome from our Year 5 staff team here in St Monica's.

This year marks an exciting new chapter in your child’s learning journey as they move up from Year 4 into Year 5 here in St Monica's.

Our Year 5 classrooms are happy, calm, and exciting places to learn. We love asking questions, sharing ideas, and celebrating each other's achievements. This year, we’ll dive deeper into reading and writing, tackle challenging maths problems, explore fascinating science topics, and learn more about the world around us. Every day brings new opportunities to grow, discover, and have fun together.

At the heart of everything we do in Year 5 are our school values: Faith, Aspiration, Resilience, and Respect. These values guide our learning, our relationships, and the way we support one another each day.

We want every child to feel valued, encouraged, and confident – both in their learning and in their friendships. By nurturing these core values, we help children grow not only academically, but also as kind, thoughtful, and resilient individuals.

We look forward to working in close partnership with you throughout the year to support your child’s progress, celebrate their successes, and help make this a joyful, enriching, and memorable year.

Together, we can ensure your child thrives – both in the classroom and beyond.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead in Year 5!

PE Days are: Monday and Tuesday.
