P.E Dates

5D- Tuesday & Wednesday

5TM- Wednesday & Thursday

On PE days the children need to come to school in suitable PE clothes and trainers. 

Please do not allow your child to wear jewellery (other than stud earrings) to school.

Despite being in appropriate PE clothing on the days when we have PE, the children are still expected to be smart and to wear their usual school jumper / cardigan over their kits. 

Homework:

Please have a look at the weekly homework blog below.  This is updated every week.

We always encourage home learning if the children want to explore our topics further in their own time and love seeing their work!

Book bags:

Every child has a book bag of their own which they keep their reading book inside. This book bag and book needs to be brought into school everyday, we expect children to read this book to an adult at home at least 3 times per week or everyday if possible. 

Year 5 will change their reading books weekly.
