Spring One (2022/2023)
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are delighted to welcome you back to the spring term which begins on Tuesday 3rd of January 2023. I do hope that you have all had a restful and safe Christmas break. We have lots of fun things planned this term, which I know that the children will love. We endeavour each day to make the learning fun and provide a creative curriculum which is both broad and balanced.
Reading Record
Reading Records needs to be signed daily as part of the Home-School Reading Agreement. Please encourage your child to read for at least 20 minutes each day. Reading records need to be brought back into school every morning to be checked
Please also note there will be 50p fines for lost Reading Records and £2 fines for any books lost or damaged.
If you got any questions, please contact the office or myself directly and I am happy to support.
Best wishes,
Miss Shire
Autumn Two (2022/2023)
Welcome back to another busy half-term! We are lucky to have secured 10 swimming sessions with Cally pool this half term as part of our PE curriculum. We will be going to Cally pool from Monday 31st October 2022 to Friday 11th November 2022. It is important for your child to bring the correct swimming kit to school every day for these sessions.
Reading Record
Reading Records needs to be signed daily as part of the Home-School Reading Agreement. Please encourage your child to read for at least 20 minutes each day. Reading records need to be brought back into school every morning to be checked. We have lots of books in the classroom that the children are able to take home as reading books. As well as classroom books, we also have our reading road maps up and running. The children choose these books to read from different genres and each time they read a new book we sign it off. The goal is for the children to read all of the books and complete their reading road map by the end of the year!
Homework
Homework in Year 5 is given out every Friday and returned on Wednesday (unless stated otherwise in special circumstances). Please make sure you child brings their homework in on time, as it is beneficial to our learning at the time. In addition, please ensure your child learns their spelling list for the week as there is a weekly spelling test.
P.E.
This half term we will be having P.E. every Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure that your child comes to school in their correct kit on these days (they are allowed to wear it in to school if they wish). Their P.E. kit should include school P.E. t-shirt, school jumper, tracksuit bottoms or shorts and trainers.
Just a quick reminder that if you are wanting your child picked up by another adult or you are picking up someone else's child, please let the school office know.
Many thanks for your support,
Miss Shire
