About this year group

Reading books

Children are expected to read daily. If children are on Accelerated Reader then they can quiz and change their book everyday except Wednesday. The quiz will check the children's comprehension of what they have read, so we ask that they read their book at least twice before quizzing. If children are working on the ELS phonics then their reading books will be changed once a week in line with the scheme.

PE

PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays. Children should come into school wearing their school PE kit. Trainers should have Velcro until your child can tie their own shoe laces.

Library

Children visit the school library on Wednesdays. They will bring a book home, these books are to share and enjoy rather than the children to read by themselves. Please ensure children return their book every Wednesday so that they can choose a new book.

Spellings

Spelling quizzes take place on Monday, please see the homework section of the website for the weekly words, or check inside your child's homework book.

Homework

Homework is set weekly, please check your child's homework book weekly.

Year 5 Enrichment Week continued with creating Story Sticks this afternoon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️They look wonderful! The children learnt all about how sticks were used in the past to remind people about what they had seen on their travels so they could tell people all about it. The children chose their sticks and sanded them down before painting and decorating them. We will make a display of all 59 of them after Easter! Thank you to local artists Annie and Amanda for facilitating this and also to Mrs Dawes and Millie for helping. 🎨🖌️

The children in Foundation practised their geography skills this afternoon by following a map which led to some Easter eggs! 🪺 We learnt about the Birds Eye view, the importance of 'the key' and which directions we needed to take. They will be creating their own maps by drawing the route that they followed! Fingers crossed the Easter bunny turns our paper eggs into real chocolate eggs!! 🤞🏼 🐰
