Tolethorpe Class - Year 5

Welcome to Tolethorpe Class at Ryhall CE Academy. Year 5 is an exciting and important year where children continue to develop their independence, confidence and resilience as learners.

In Tolethorpe, we aim to create a supportive and engaging environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to challenge themselves. We place a strong emphasis on building positive relationships, taking pride in our work and developing a love of learning across the curriculum.

Tolethorpe Class is taught by Mrs Thorpe. Each Tuesday afternoon, Mrs Szyszka and Mrs Vaughn support the class during PPA time, and Mrs Chapman teaches music.

As a team, we are here to support, guide and celebrate each child, helping them to grow in confidence and make the most of their Year 5 experience.

PE takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and children should come to school in their PE kit on these days.

During the Summer Term, this changes to PE on Tuesday and swimming on Friday. Children should continue to come to school in their PE kit on both of these days.

Throughout the year, children will build on their knowledge and skills across the curriculum through a range of engaging and meaningful learning opportunities. We focus on developing strong foundations in reading, writing and maths, alongside a broad and balanced curriculum that encourages curiosity and creativity.

Further information about the curriculum can be found in the long-term plans below.

 I will continue to keep you up to date with our learning and share general messages and reminders via Class Dojo. ‘Knowledge Organisers’ for key subjects will also be available on Class Dojo; these contain important facts linked to our learning and it is beneficial for children to be familiar with them.

I value working in partnership with you, so please do keep in touch. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me by email at r.thorpe@ryhall.pdet.org.uk
