Communication with the Team

- Morning communications when children arrive must be brief (teachers are busy starting lessons). If needed, hand over a written note to provide more detail and we can phone you during the day.
- Teachers are usually available at the end of each day for a short chat if needed.
- Alternatively send an email to and this will be forwarded to the relevant teacher.
PE Days
Magpies - Monday (indoors) and Friday (outdoors)
Humming Birds - Tuesday (indoors) and Friday (outdoors)
Doves - Monday (indoors) and Wednesday (outdoors)
Equipment
- Water bottle (named)
- Pencil case
- Packed lunch bag
- Small bag
Due to very small cloakrooms it is helpful if children only bring a small bag into school. To support the transition to secondary school we encourage Year 5 and 6 to take responsibility for ensuring they have all the resources needed each day. Checking their school bags daily is a good habit to get into.
Homework
Reading - It is expected that your child reads at home daily for at least 10 minutes with an adult. Re-reading a book several times, becoming familiar with tricky words in a book and asking questions to develop reading comprehension skills can be useful.
Times Tables - Both Year 5 and 6 should practice all times tables to ensure their knowledge remains sharp.
During the spring term Year 5 will continue with an English or maths activity for homwwork each week. Year 6 will use their SATS revision guides for homework. Year 6 will be set their revision guide activity on a Friday and returned on a Wednesday.
