Homework Expectations

In Year 5, children are expected to read every night at home in order to develop their fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. All children have a homework diary in which they should record which page of their book they are up to. In addition to this, children receive a page of Maths homework per week. This goes home on a Tuesday and must be back in school the following Monday (it will be marked every Tuesday). Each half term the children will be given some Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRF) to learn,  which relate to their Maths.  The focus for this half term will be on knowing the Roman Numerals and the numbers they represent. 

P.E.

Autumn Term 2024

This term, Year 5 will have P.E. every Monday and Thursday afternoon. Thursday's session will take place in school with On-Side Coaching and Monday's session will be swimming.  Please ensure that your child is wearing the correct kit, which includes: a school P.E. t-shirt and jumper;  plain black shorts or plain black jogging bottoms and trainers. Please ensure your child brings in a drinks bottle.
