Year 5 Teacher's Message

It is a privilege to have the opportunity to teach your children this academic year. We would like to introduce ourselves: We are Miss Hartley and Miss Woods. We always strive to do our very best for all the children we teach. Between us, we all love the great outdoors and spend as much time as possible walking, particularly in our local countryside.

Miss Hartley really enjoys reading, collecting movie memorabilia and singing.

Miss Woods especially enjoys music,watching films and baking. 

We all love teaching all about The Rainforests, World War 2 and Rivers and Mountains. Our Year 5 family always endeavours to work successfully as a cohesive team, to ensure the very best for the future of your child.

Here are some ideas of how you can support your child with our Year 5 curriculum:

  • Visit the library and read some books by our class authors; Onjali Q Rauf, Michael Morpurgo and Louis Sachar.
  • Learning a poem or a "silly sentence" (a mnemonic) to help your child memorise the order of the eight planets from the Sun.
  • Take a family walk to one of Rochdale's Rivers; the River Roch, River Spodden or River Beal.
  • Can your child have a conversation with a family member or friend who fought in World War 2?
