Our Lady's School is a caring family, where, with Jesus in our hearts, we value everyone and encourage them to be the best that they can be.

Hello Year 5!

My name is Miss O'Dea and I am going to be your class teacher this year. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and celebrating our learning and achievements together. 

Joining us in Year 5 is Mr White

General Information

-Pick up and drop off points are on zone 5 at 8:50 and 3:25.

 - School starts at 8:55. 

-Bring your book bag and reading records in every day so they can be changed throughout the week. However, we have timetabled in a slot on Friday afternoons where children can change their books and read with us. Children are encouraged to manage their reading record and change their books as and when they need it: they don't need to wait until Friday. Mr White will be on hand to support children with this. 

-Our PE days this half term are Monday and Wednesday. You can come into school in your PE kit. Please remember school PE kit is white and blue sports wear and suitable trainers.

Please dress for the weather - shorts/t-shirt or tracksuit top/bottoms. 

-Don't forget jewellery is not to be worn in school.

- Spellings are handed out every Monday. Children can practise them at home on Spelling Shed/Purple Mash. A spelling test will take place the following Monday.

-Homework for learning done over the week is posted on Purple Mash on Wednesdays.  Any technological issues or if you require your log in code for Purple Mash, let me know and I will be happy to help! 

-Bring a water bottle into school every day to stay hydrated. 

- We look forward to inviting parents into the classroom throughout the year: Christmas craft; workshops; Read Aloud Day and for class showcases. 

We follow the three school rules throughout school: Be Ready, Be Respectful and Be Safe.

Children are rewarded for following these rules with ticks on their behaviour passport. At 50 ticks, a child is awarded their bronze badge; at 100 ticks a child is awarded their silver badge and at 150 ticks a child is awarded their gold badge! 

Children are also recognised through certificates, the values book and by winning the golden tie for demonstrating a specific learning skill that week. 

Any questions or queries that you may have, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I'm looking forward to a wonderful year with you all.

Miss O'Dea :)

Here are some useful websites that we use in class daily, children have logins for these and can access them at home too!
