Other Information for Y5


P.E days for 5T are Wednesdays, please ensure that your children have the correct P.E kit in school all week so they are able to fully take part. Swimming will be on a Thursday morning, starting in a few weeks time. Letters for this will be given out shortly. 


Please can you ensure you read and sign all of the policies in the front of your child's organiser. This is very important as failure to sign the e-safety policy will mean that your child will be unable to use any device that can access the internet in school. 


Spellings will be given out every Friday and will be written in the children's organisers. Children will be tested on their spellings the following Friday morning. 


It is very important to hear your child read on a regular basis, therefore the school asks that an adult hears each child read at least 3 times a week. Please make sure if you hear your child read you record it in their organiser as children will not be able to change their reading book unless an adult has heard them read. 


Whilst reading with your child you could check their understanding further by asking key questions, such as:

  • Can you describe the setting?
  • Can you predict what might happen next?
  • What can you tell me about that character's personality?
  • Who was the main character in the book?
  • From the title/heading, you can predict that the text will be about?
  • Why do you think …..?
  • Why did …..?
  • How do you know that …..?
  • What might happen if …..?
  • What can you infer from the picture on the page?
  • Why do they …..?
  • How do you know?
