PE

Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday. Sessions may be inside or outside, so please ensure that your child is wearing something suitable for all weather conditions.

As part of the new COVID regulations, your child is required to arrive at school dressed in their PE kit. They will wear their PE kit all day.

As children will be wearing PE kits all day, these will need to be warm clothes during the winter months. Your child can come in any suitable tracksuit bottoms, preferably in a dark colour, and can bring in sports jumpers or tops to keep them warm.

Year 5 Homework Expectations

In Year 5, homework will be handed out on a Friday, and is expected to be completed and returned by the following Thursday. If homework, is not completed and returned by Thursday, children will complete their homework on Friday during their playtime.

All login details can be found in homework folders and in the front of reading diaries.

Children must:

• Read 3 times a week. This must be recorded, dated and signed in reading diaries, which should be handed in to the class teacher each morning. If children read 5 times in a week, they will be awarded with 5 house points J
• Complete English and maths tasks set on Mirodo.
• Practise weekly spellings. Children can do this in any of the following ways:

1. On spellingframe.co.uk
2. Using the look, cover, write, check sheet in homework folders, which will be updated weekly.
3. Using the spelling strategies found in homework folders.
