Our learning for the Spring Term 2026:

 

Our timetable is:

*Please note that the timetable is subject to change.

 

 

What you will need:

It would be very helpful if you could bring a pencil case with a pencil, handwriting pen, eraser, ruler and some colouring pencils. A glue stick and scissors are useful too.

We have a good selection of reading books in school, but feel free to bring your own from home.

To be prepared for our changeable weather, it would be good to bring a coat every day for rainy playtimes as well as a sun hat/cap for sunny ones. A change of footwear to keep in your locker would also be helpful to ensure you can play on the field.

Our P.E. days are Thursday and Friday, so please wear your school P.E. kit and trainers on both these days.

Remember to bring a hairband if you have longer hair so that it can be tied up. Earrings will also need to be removed during P.E. lessons.

Homework:

A maths and grammar piece of homework will be set each Friday.

Additional home activities:

It would be good for you to read as often as possible at home.

Practising your times tables will support your rapid recall in maths, so using TT Rockstars regularly is helpful. We will set you off with this during your first week back at school.

You will have a list of the Year 5 extra spellings from the Year 5/6 spelling list, which we will work through each week together. Any additional practice at home will support our work in school.

If you have any questions or worries, please ask us.
