Year 5 - Blwyddyn 5
Welcome to the Year 5 Noticeboard
Week beginning 6th October 2025
Another busy week in Sketty! We have had our class assembly that was a great success. We are very proud of how well the children rehearsed, their resilience and also there bravery when performing. We would like to thank those who were able to attend. We do appreciate that attending our class assemblies can be difficult with other commitments.
We are looking forward to meeting with you all in person at the upcoming parent meetings. If you haven't booked a slot yet, then please make sure you do.

Home Learning
Our expectation are for the children to read daily at home. We check their reading records each Friday. Please help us monitor this by keeping this record up to date.
It is essential that pupils develop quick recall of their times tables. We have regular TT Rockstars sessions in school. Pupils can practice their tables in a variety of ways including logging in to Sumdog from home
Sumdog activities will also be set on a regular basis. Each time these are set, the children have 1 week to complete these.
