HOMEWORK: Children should read, practise their spelling using the handwriting sheet and learn their tables every night. Handwriting should be handed in on a Monday. Maths homework (arithmetic based) will be given out on a Friday and should be handed in on the following week. Children also receive a half-termly homework challenge based of various area of the curriculum.

READING AWARDS: Reading awards assemblies are held at the end of each half term. To earn a bronze certificate children need to read a minimum of five times each week. Platinum and diamond awards are awarded to children who go above and beyond and even read in the holidays! Help your class to win the trophy and read lots at home.

PE – PE lessons take place twice a week (see the table below to find out on which days your class has PE). On PE days the children will be expected to come into school wearing their school PE uniform (they can wear navy jogging bottoms over the top of their shorts to keep them warm when outside at break and lunchtimes). The children regularly do the mile on our track around the field

Music

Years 5 and 6 are currently learning to play the flute. They are making great progress and are sounding wonderful. Their lesson takes place straight after lunch on a Wednesday; therefore your child will need to have their Flutes in school every Wednesday, to allow them to participate fully.

Half-Termly Homework Challenges

Each half term your child will recieve a Knowledge Organiser on which to base their homework challenge. This is to be ongoing for the duration of each half term.

Online Communications - Teams

Please see below 'Quick Guide to MS Teams for Parents' guide as to how your children can set up themselves ready to interact with their teacher

English Speaking Board

We are all extremely proud of the way our Year 5 children prepared for and performed during their English Speaking Board exams in Summer 2024.The results this year are fantastic with fourteen children receiving the highest award of Distinction, nineteen children receiving a Merit-Plus and thirteen children receiving a Merit.  All that hard work has definitely paid off and it has been wonderful to see the children’s presentation skills and confidence develop in preparation for this award. This year’s Y5 children will take their examinations in the Summer term 2025.
