PE is on a Monday. A PE kit should be left in school and can be taken home to be washed at the end of each half term. Indoor PE kit consists of; black shorts, a white t-shirt or polo shirt, pumps, socks. Black jogging bottoms may be brought in for the winter. All items should be named.
Children should bring in a named water bottle which they have access to in the classroom.
Children have been given a new reading folder and diary; this should be in school on a daily basis as volunteers may hear children read at any time.
As a guide children in Year 5 are expected to do 1 hour of homework a week.
Children must read at least three times a week and parents/carers are expected to record in the reading diary that you have heard them read. The diary is checked in school every Friday.
A home learning task is set every other Monday and children will be given 10 days to complete it. The task is on a printed sheet which is stuck in the children’s home learning books. Books must be returned to school on the given date for marking.
Year 5 will be set maths homework each week, given on Monday and due Friday.
Children have a spelling test every Friday. They will be given spellings in a yellow book, which must come back to school the following Friday to allow them to be given their new spellings. Tests will take place in a red book which remains in school.
