Children wear PE kits on the days they have PE. Olive: Weds – Indoor/Thurs - Outdoor Fig: Weds – Swimming (18th Sept – 11th Dec)/Thurs - Indoor Lime: Thurs – Indoor/Fri - Outdoor Please also ensure children bring a reusable water bottle to school. |
HomeworkSpelling homework will be set each week on a Friday and will be collected the following Friday. The words given will be words that children will have spent time learning during the week. All and any efforts to complete homework will be celebrated! |
ReadingIn Year 5, we love reading and have got some glorious topic books! All children read regularly in school: they read weekly in whole class guided reading, once every 3 weeks one-to-one with an adult and are given opportunities to read independently, often. We also share a class story at the end of every day linked to our topic. We give children opportunities to change books regularly. We encourage children to discover books they enjoy so if your child is a free reader, and is enjoying a particular novel at home, they are welcome to bring it to school to read during the day. |
