Welcome to Year 5!
Our day to visit the library will be a Wednesday so please return your library books on Tuesday.
In Year 5, children are encouraged to choose their own reading books to take home. We have a range of books in the class and the school library, and all children have their own log in for Reading Eggs.
PE will be on Monday and Fridays but we ask that children keep their PE kits in their lockers at all times. Our PE kit consists of a house-coloured top (as worn on sports days), dark shorts/ bottoms and appropriate footwear. No football kits. Please remember to tie up hair and remove earrings on PE days. Please note, children will still need a separate PE kit in school as children are not allowed to take part in PE in outdoor learning clothing.
Outdoor Learning is every other Wednesday children should come in dressed ready for outdoor learning. What is worn can be weather dependent as the children are outside without the option of this being inside for these sessions. Jeans and shorts are not to be worn due to the nature of activities children may take part in during these sessions. Arms and legs are to be covered (to protect against scratches and nettles) and clothing (including shoes) should be suitable to get dirty -we do have a mud kitchen in the outdoor learning space, and it can get a little boggy!

Homework
Times tables are still a major focus of children's learning and the school subscribes to Times Table Rockstars which is available on most devices as a website or an app. Children are encouraged to play at least 5 minutes of times table games at least 3 times a week at home, as well as working on times tables in class, and there are always various competitions and incentives throughout the year.
Spellings
In Year 5, weekly spellings are tested and new ones given out every Wednesday. Therefore, it is important for them to practice daily at home, as the expectation is for all the spellings to be correct. As the test is an oral one it is recommended that parents help to reinforce the letter sounds through reading them out to their child. Along with their weekly spellings there is the expectation that every child complete one piece of additional homework from the Chilli challenge sheet every 2 weeks. It should be produced to a high standard that they are proud to share with others. This is also handed in on a Wednesday.
