Navigators 11 is a Year 5 class taught by Miss Swales and supported by Miss Johnston and Miss Charlton.
Welcome to Navigators 11. I am excited to welcome you all back. Check out this page for all things important and I can’t wait to have you in my class. Let’s make this year one to remember!
Important Things to know:
Year 5 needs to be at school for 8.30am and will finish at 3.15pm. Morning break is at 11am and lunch is at 12.15pm, so we recommend children either bring or buy a healthy snack to get them through till lunch time. We ask if parents can please wait with their child at the school gates until they are collected by their teacher. Year 5 have been allocated the Burn gates for drop off and parents are welcome to collect the children from outside their classroom at 3.15pm.
If you would like your child to walk home on their own, please ensure you have filled out, signed and returned the form to school. School dinners and milk now need to be paid for using Parent Pay. If you need a login for Parent Pay, please contact the office and they will be able to help.
P.E.
This half-term Year 5 have PE on Monday and Friday. PE this half term will be on a Monday Yoga and Friday Rugby. All children should bring their P.E. kits into school to get changed into.
PE Kit
- Plain white t-shirt (with or without school logo)
- Navy or black jogging bottoms, leggings or shorts
- Trainers/plimsolls for rugby

Reading is a hugely important part of our curriculum, and we ask that you aim to read with your child at least 3 times per week (and sign their reading diaries). Let’s get reading!
Homework
As we prepare for the end of Key Stage 2 assessments that take place in year 6 and work through our catch-up curriculum, pupils may receive additional homework as well as their usual weekly spellings and reading tasks. Spellings will be given out on a Friday and tested on the following Friday.
Core Maths & Times Table Rock Stars
In year 5 we will be focusing daily on mental arithmetic and developing your times table knowledge. We will continue to use Times Tables Rock Stars. You will be encouraged to practise at school and at home. You can challenge your friends and you upgrade your own avatar.
