PE
Our PE days are Monday and Tuesday. Children need to bring their PE kit bag to school on these days. Please be aware that the majority of PE lessons take place outdoors, so children need to have clothing suitable for the weather and trainers or pumps. For health and safety reasons they should have long hair tied and earrings removed. Correct kit earns Dojo Points.
The kit should include:
T-shirt with sweatshirt or zipped jacket
Jogging trousers, leggings or shorts
Trainers or sturdy pumps.
Sunhat on sunny days and jacket on cold days
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.
