PE days will be Tuesdays and Wednesdays - Children are to come into school in their PE kits.
Children should be reading with an adult at home daily - this must be recorded in their planners.
The year 5 spelling words are posted on this page (blue column) - children should be going over these at home with an adult as much as possible.
The regular use of TT rockstars is also really important to ensure children are staying on top of their timestables.
More information on trips and residentials will follow.
