In Year 5 you will find Mrs Foreman, Miss Gair, Mrs Clarke and Ms Ansell.
Mrs Foreman's class will have indoor PE on Thursday, and outdoor PE on Friday. Miss Gair's will have indoor PE on Monday, and outdoor PE on Friday. Please make sure your child has both indoor and outdoor PE kit in school for the whole week, and that earrings are removed on those days.
Literacy and Maths homework will be given to the children on Monday and it is expected to be handed in on Friday.
Children are expected to read at home every day. Their Reading Challenge should be in school everyday and we log their reads on a Friday.
Children will also be an additional term long creative homework, based on our Topic, two or three times a year.
