End of the School Day

If you give your Year 5/6 child to leave school unaccompanied at the end of the day, please ensure that you have completed the consent form.

 

Year 5 Daily Routines

Throughout the academic year the children will be taking place in the 'Daily Mile' This is an opportunity for the children to get outside and run, walk or jog to promote physical activity. 

We will also be completing 'Calm Brain' daily which is a relaxing activity in which the children imitate movements. This has been proven to aid with mental wellbeing.

 

Helping Your Child at Home

We have been asked about how you can support your child at home. The following links should help:

White Rose Maths - This is a great starting point for maths as it aligns with the methods and strategies that we teach in school, so it will be extremely familiar. On the link, you will see the different units of maths that we teach. If you click on the block, it will take you you to a variety of lesson videos.

BBC Bitesize - This is a great place for a range of subjects, including English. Again, you can filter by age / year group so that you can recap learning from the current year and previous years. 

ParentPay

If you have not yet set up a ParentPay account, please make sure that you do so. All of our ticketed events (eg Leavers' assembly) will be distributed using this system and all payments & consents for trips will be made using ParentPay.  Without a ParentPay account, you will not be able to do any of these things. If you have lost the letter that we sent out, please speak to the office. 

UNIFORM

Please ensure the children have the correct uniform at all time. Shoes must be worn. No trainers or boots. Children can come to school in their PE kit on their days. This should be plain black shorts or joggers and a plain white T shirt. Children can also wear a plain black hoody or jumper in cooler weather.
