Year 5
Welcome to Year 5!
Welcome to our class page.
Year 5 is taught by Mrs Hipgrave
I am delighted to be your child’s teacher this year and am really looking forward to the exciting year ahead. Working alongside me this year, I have Miss Kehoe who will be covering the class on a Monday and a Tuesday afternoon. We are also lucky to be supported by Mrs Lyle, who will be supporting groups and individuals within the class.
If you have any concerns or questions, please arrange a meeting with me via the office, where I will give you a call or arrange a meeting with you. Additionally, I am available for a quick chat on the playground most days after school. Alternatively, you can write a message in your child’s reading diary and ask your child to show me.
I very much hope that the children have a happy and successful year in my class.
Kind regards,
Mrs Hipgrave
Year 5 Class Teacher

This year we will be revising the year 3/4 list of spellings and introducing the children to the year 5/6 list. Each child has a copy of their spellings and these are also available on our class page incase the list is misplaced. I encourage the children to start looking at their new list of spellings at the weekend so that they have a week to practise the new spelling rule.
