Year 5

Walking Home

Children in Years 5 and 6 may walk home from school with signed permission from their parents or carers. If you require a copy of the letter, please see the school office or the attached document below.

Our PE day is Wednesday. Please ensure your child has their PE kit in school for the whole half-term. P.E kit includes a white t-shirt, black jogging bottoms or shorts and trainers.

Reading books should be brought to school each day and changed as soon as they have finished. 

Homework books should be handed in on Wednesdays and will be given out again on Fridays along with spellings. The expectation is that children then practise their spellings at home and are tested on a Friday.

Year 5 children are expected to be able to quickly recall all of their times-tables up to 12×12. You can support your child with learning their times tables through games and verbal recall. The children all have a Times-table Rockstars log in. In addition, here are some games that are free to access online:
