What to bring to school:

• P.E. sessions are on Monday and Friday afternoons.
• Children must have a PE kit in school containing the appropriate house colour top, plain blue shorts, plain blue or black jogging trousers and plain trainers for PE. Please bring spare socks as this can be useful on wet days too.
• We will be having lessons outside when possible so you may wish to provide a zip-up top or jumper.  Please ensure all kit is named clearly. 
• More information will follow soon about forest school.
• Children should bring to school a filled water bottle (water only please),and a fruit or vegetable snack for break-time.
• Children should bring into school each day their Contact book, Reading book and Reading Record. The Contact Book will be used for any home/school communication (please advise your child if there is a note written in their contact book to be shown to their class teacher as we cannot guarantee they are checked by a member of the team every day).  Please read with your child regularly and record this in their Reading Record. Reading is absolutely key to improving your child's Literacy skills. We will be encouraging the children to write down what they have read in class also.

In Year 5, we aim to make each day an enjoyable learning experience, and guide the children to have high expectations of themselves, their peers and the teachers. We reinforce and extend the learning and develop a growth mind-set. The children in year 5 are given every possible opportunity to reflect on their learning and will become more positive about what they know and what they need to do, in order to succeed. There is a real emphasis on being independent learners and children who feel very proud about their achievements.

We aim for every child to have a positive attitude to school.

Within Year 5 our class values are Love and Joy.
