Reading Books
All children have a reading book and a reading record diary that they are encouraged to take home and share with parents and carers. When they have read their book, children are able to change them when they arrive at school each morning. Please sign your name and feel free to write any comment each time you listen to your child read, and also when they have completed their book. Please try and listen to your child read daily at home.

Home Learning

Home learning is handed out every Wednesday and needs to be handed back in to the class teacher on the following Monday. As part of home learning, year 5 are expected to complete activities and challenges via the Mathletics and Reading Eggs websites. One Reading Egg challenge must be completed per month and Times Tables Rock Stars challenges weekly.

 

PE

Please ensure children have their full kits in school on these days. No jewellery is permitted. After Christmas, the children will have swimming on Friday mornings. Please ensure your child has the correct kit for this. Click on the link below to find out more information about our uniform.

 

Due to the temporary closure of the Kingfisher Leisure Centre, Y5 will not be swimming until at least the end of January. Therefore, FirstForSport will be delivering PE lessons on Tuesday PM and Thursday AM to compensate. We will keep you updated with further information as soon as we know.
