Important Information:
PE day:
Both Robins and Kingfishers have PE on a Friday. Children will need to come to school in their PE kits.
Library Day:
Every week children from both classes will have access to the school library, to take 1 book home to read. This book can then be brought back the following week and changed, if they have finished.
Daily Schedule:
Start of Day: 8:30 am
Break time: 10:45 am
Lunch time: 12:15
Home Time: 3:00pm
The morning for Y5 is quite long, please feel free to send your child with a healthy snack for break (fruit/cereal bar).
Reading books:
Children will be able to take home 2 reading books this year. One from the School Library and one from the Y5 Class Library. Y5 books can be changed in class at anytime and should be taken home to read. The School Library book can be changed on each classes' chosen day.
Children should read at home at least 3 times a week. Either to an adult or independently. This information should be written in their reading record, which should be brought into school every Friday.
Spellings:
The children will receive their spellings for the half term in a booklet and will take these home to learn. They will then be tested on these on a Friday. They will also have a copy to practice their spellings within school.
Year 5 Non-Negotiables
- The correct uniform and footwear should be worn at all times.
- Weekly spellings will need to practised for their test on a Friday.
- The expectation will be that children read at least 3 times a week at home and record this in their reading journal. This can be done independently as well as with an adult / older sibling.
- Children should know their times tables up to 12 x 12 and be able to recall these facts at a rapid pace. All children have log ins for TTR and PurpleMash.
