Homework:

Handed out on Fridays,

Returned by Wednesday,

Please remember that homework is an important building stone in the child’s learning and development. The children will receive Dojo-Points for completed homework as well as particularly outstanding contributions.

Daily Reading:

To help further develop the children’s reading and academic development, please support and encourage the children to read daily for at least 10 minutes. This daily reading should then be recorded (title + pages) in the Learning Diary. We would kindly ask parents to sign/initial the record.

The children will receive Dojo-Points for daily reading.

Recommended reading books for Year 5:

Best Books for Year 5 | Ages 9-10 | BooksForTopics

Expertly selected books for 9 and 10 year old children (lovereading4kids.co.uk)

Reading Activities:

Once the children have completed reading a book, they then choose an activity related to the book (e.g. book-review, letter to the author, sequel, character profile, alternative cover etc.). This activity is completed in the child’s Reading Journal. Our wonderful teaching assistants will then check, feedback and record the completion of these activities.

The children will receive multiple Dojo-Points to reward exceptional work.

PE:

Our current P.E. days are Tuesday and Wednesday with Miss Handley.

The highlight of our week will probably be our excursion to Kew Gardens. Please remember to arrive on time as we would like to leave school at 9:05 promptly. Also, children will need a packed lunch, a healthy snack, a rain jacket and a warm jacket (depending on the weather). A notepad would be helpful so children can take notes about the wonderful things they will be seeing and learning about. Curious? Check out the links below:

[dropshadowbox align=”center” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#efc3c1″ border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd”] Thank you so much for the fantastic recounts/diary entries of our trip to the National Maritime Museum. [/dropshadowbox]

 

Hurray, our Homework Diaries have arrived.

Please remember:

  • Please record any reading the your child has done at home on the day. Each day that your child has read, he/she will receive a Class-Dojo point.
  • Class-Dojo log-ins for parents as well as Mathletics log-ins will find their way into the homework diaries over the course of this week.
  • In their homework diary, your child will have a green stamp at the end of each day to show they are following our school’s ‘Good to be Green’ behaviour policy. If they do not get a green stamp it is because they have not ended the day on a green card or have received a red card during the day. You will be notified by text if a red card consequence has occurred.
