Key Information

 

PE - Thursday and Friday

This year, children are to come into school in full school uniform and get changed into their PE kits on their PE days. Please bring full PE kits into school on these days.

 

Reading Books

We encourage children to read for at least 30 minutes every day. We would appreciate your support in helping them to find some time every day to enjoy a book.

Children will be given a reading book to take home. Children should bring their reading book in every day as there will be opportunities for reading throughout the day. Their reading books will be changed weekly or as appropriate (for longer books).

 

Homework

Please login into Atom Prime each week: https://atomlearning.com/prime 

English and maths will be added every Thursday.

 

 

 

 

Spellings

 

The spellings for this year are below (Stage 5). Children will have spelling lessons in class and activities and quizzes throughout the week. Weekly spellings will be written or stuck into purple 'home spelling books' and these are to be brought into school each day. We would appreciate your support in reminding children to practise these words at home.

 

Children will not have a formal-style spelling test each week as they will be assessed in other ways (e.g. dictation, quizzes, independent application).
