Cedar (Year 5)
Hello everyone, my name is Mr Hayward and I am the Year 5 class teacher. This year, I will be working alongside Mr Westwood. We are looking forward to supporting the children throughout the Autumn Term of Year 5 and seeing their knowledge and skills grow throughout this year.
In Year 5, your child is expected to demonstrate increased independence in all areas of the curriculum. They need to become an excellent communicator, who is able to talk about his/her learning and can explain the processes and strategies he/she uses. Working efficiently and collaboratively, will allow your child to maximise his/her potential.
This class page aims to share with you examples of children’s work, photos of the children immersed in their learning. You will also find lots of exciting class news, so please ensure you keep your eye on our class page.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask either myself or Mr Westwood and we will do our very best to help you.

Home Learning:
A copy of the KS2 homework policy can be found on the school website. So that pupils are prepared for Secondary School, we encourage children to:
- Complete daily reading, times tables practice and spelling practice (new rule each week).
- Self-quiz using the knowledge organiser for our science, history and geography topic.
- Complete weekly Maths.co.uk work.
- Complete SPAG.com work (set every fortnight)
Physical Education:
This term, our PE lessons will take place on a Monday. Please ensure your child attends school on this day in their correct PE kit and remember to remove any jewellery and/or earrings.
Reading and Book Change:
At Grace Mary we value the importance of reading as a key ingredient for success in children’s lives and encourage you to read with your child regularly after school.
Our book change day is Tuesday– please ensure that your child has their Home Readers Book and their Library Book with them ready for this to be changed.
