    Reading:

    Children are expected to read 3-5 times a week at home (alone or with an adult). This should be recorded in children’s reading diaries and must be signed by an adult. Reading certificates will be awarded when children have read enough times to meet each milestone: 50 reads for Bronze, 100 reads for Silver, 150 reads for Gold and 250 reads for Platinum.

    Homework:

    Homework will be set on a Friday and should be completed by the following Wednesday. This includes:

    • Maths homework sheet
    • English homework sheet
    • A writing task from the Writing Bingo sheet each week (sent home half-termly)
    • Regular times tables practice using Times Tables Rockstars
    • Spelling - please choose no more than 5 words from Year 5 and 6 words each week that your child can practise. These are available in their homework folder and on Spelling Frame.

    PE:

    Monday (coach led) and Friday (teacher led). Children should wear their uniform and get changed into their PE kits in school on these days and ensure long hair is also tied up. For health and safety reasons the children will be unable to take part in their PE lessons if they have any jewellery on, including earrings - these must be removed. 

    Healthy snack:

    Most children require a snack at morning break to keep them going through the day. We encourage children to bring in healthy snacks. 

    Many of these will help contribute to their 5 daily portions of fruit and vegetables, keep them alert and help them concentrate.

    If you are intending to send in healthy snacks with your child please limit them to the list below.       

    • Vegetables/vegetable sticks – e.g. celery, cucumber, peppers or carrot. 
    • A piece of cheese – e.g. cheddar cheese or Babybel.
    • A piece of fresh or dried fruit – e.g. pineapple, mango, kiwi, plain raisins, apricots, blueberries, banana slices.
    • Breads are also good snacks – e.g. Bread sticks, plain pretzels, banana bread, malt loaf, oat/rice cakes and small pitta.

    We are aiming for a common-sense approach, with the key being to keep it healthy and no chocolate, sweets or crisps during breaktime.
