Useful Information

PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays. 
Your child needs to come into school on their PE days (Mondays and Wednesdays) wearing their outdoor PE kit. 

No jewellery is allowed in PE lessons, so if your child has their ears pierced they will either need to take their earrings out for P.E. or cover them with tape/plasters, provided by yourselves, so that they don’t get caught during the lesson.

Homework in Year 5 is given out each Thursday and is due in the following Tuesday.
 

Spellings are given out on a Wednesday and your child will be tested on these the following Wednesday. Spelling lists are located in the front of your child’s diary.
