Gold Class

King Class

We are pleased to have this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to you and your child into Year 5 and to introduce the team. The year group consists of two classes, Gold, whose class teacher is Mrs Catto, and King, whose teacher is Mrs Smith. Within our year group, we have two incredible learning support assistants: Miss Barker and Mrs Quinn, who provide fantastic support within our learning environment.

Throughout this year, your child will continuously build on previous encouragement to take ownership and independence of their learning as well as develop their resilience to become critical thinkers within the classroom to thrive throughout their educational journey. During their time in Year 5, we will be focusing on assisting your child to develop their learning, skills and knowledge in preparation for them moving forward into the highest end of KS2. Please support your child by encouraging them to complete weekly reads, homework and regular Times Table Rockstars and/or Reflex sessions to consolidate their learning outside the classroom.

At Ivanhoe, we are passionate about ensuring that children are given the opportunities to read as we value it highly. We have a great emphasis on reading for pleasure as we believe that reading is the key to opening the door to success. 

Our belief is that working together can help ensure that your child will reach their full potential. We communicate most things through Class Dojo, keeping you updated on what we are up to as a school but also in our classrooms. We also have a Learner of the Week assembly, which is held on a Monday. If your child is selected, you are invited to come and celebrate their learning success with them.

Here’s to an incredible year!
