Physical Education

Our P.E. kit is a plain white top, black/navy shorts or trousers, black/navy jumper and trainers. Often, our P.E. lessons will take place outside so make sure you bring appropriate clothing! Our P.E. days are Wednesday and Friday so please come into school wearing your P.E. kit on these days.

Homework

Homework is sent out each Friday and is to be returned on the following Thursday. There will be both Maths and English homework.

Year 5 children are also expected to read every night. Please make sure that you have your Reading Record signed each day and bring it back to school.
