Our weekly PE sessions will take place on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon. A full PE kit must be worn, which includes:
a t-shirt
shorts in summer, jogging bottoms in winter
a jumper
waterproof jacket
suitable trainers
Children must have appropriate clothing and footwear for all weather as some PE sessions will need to be taught outside. Children with their ears pierced must remove their earrings for each P.E session themselves or alternatively they will need at have plasters in their P.E bags to protect their ears during physical activity. Long hair must be tied back and all jewellery and watches removed. Please send your child into school wearing their PE kits on PE days.
Children are expected to read at least three times at home with an adult. Each read should be logged in the reading diary, and brought in to school everyday. Reads will be counted every Wednesday and only one home read per day will count towards the reading racetrack.
Awards:
Bronze: 50 reads
Silver: 100 reads
Gold: 200 reads
Governors’ Award: 250 reads
Homework
Below are some of the key skills that you can work on to support your child throughout Year 5. We will send home weekly homework each Friday in your child’s homework bag. Please return homework in this bag each Wednesday to show their success and to earn Dojo points.
Reading regularly will develop a love of books and your child’s skills as a reader. We recommend reading at least three times each week. Each day you indicate in their diary that your child has read, this means they race along our Reading Racetrack. Three or more days reading per week earn Dojo Points. Every read your child does will count towards their own reading race track. Every child has a special rocket and their aim is to reach 250+ reads, which is the Governors’ Award by the end of the school year. 50 reads will earn them a Bronze Award, 100 reads will earn them a Silver Award and 200 reads will earn them a Gold Award.
Maths homework will be sent home every week. This will often practise a skill that has been taught previously. On-line games will also be added to your child’s account on TTRockstars throughout the year. Homework earns Dojo Points. All personal logins have been shared, but are also noted in the front of the reading diary. A SPaG activity will be sent home each week for children to practise their SPaG objective from the week.
Spellings that we want the children to learn each week will be posted on Dojo.
Recall facts are an important skill to keep practising throughout Year 5. It is important that children know their times tables facts.This includes multiplication and division facts.
