We are a fantastic bunch of Year 5s and 6s and our teacher is Mrs Yates. On a Tuesday afternoon, we are taught by Mr Yates, for PE, and on a Wednesday afternoon, we are taught by Mrs Brooks. There are times when we are also taught by the other teachers in our phase. We also have Mrs Cargill, Mrs Lloyd, Mrs Meanley and Mrs Turner working with us, throughout the week, too.

Key reminders:

• PE day is Tuesday, and PE kit should consist of: a plain white t-shirt or polo shirt; plain black shorts, skirt/skort, joggers or leggings; plain black sweatshirt; and trainers or plimsolls.
• Make sure every item of school uniform, and PE kit is clearly named - if things are named, they are usually reunited with their owner, when they go missing.
• All children need to have a water bottle in school - please make sure these only contain water and not fizzy drinks, juice or squash.
• Children should not be wearing make-up, including nail varnish, to school.
• Spelling books must be in school on a Wednesday.
• Reading records must be in school every day.

Homework:

All passwords for online homework should be in your child's reading record.

• Spelling homework is set every week. Our spelling quizzes are every Wednesday.
• Spelling, grammar and punctuation (SPAG) homework and maths homework are set on a two-week cycle. One week, SPAG homework will be set online on spag.com. The alternate week will be set on maths.co.uk. We anticipate children spend at least a minimum of 30 minutes on this. This home work will be set on a Friday and due in the following Friday.
• Times tables should also be completed on 'Times Tables Rock Stars' (TTRS).
• We expect children to be reading at home at least 3 times a week and signed by a parent/carer in your child's reading record book - these will be checked each week.
