This document provides information from a teacher to parents about Year 5. It introduces the teacher, Mrs. Zoë Renner-Thomas, and outlines key details about the year including expectations, topics, trips, homework, behavior policies and attendance. The timetable shows the weekly schedule, dividing the day between subjects like maths, English, and topics. Homework is expected daily and includes reading, mathletics, and occasional projects. Behavior is guided by the "5 C's" and a traffic light system outlines consequences. Good attendance and punctuality starting at 8:50am is also stressed. Parents are invited to ask any questions.
