Year 5 PE every Monday

Please come to school wearing the correct school PE kit: white t-shirt, red jumper or hoodie, red shorts OR black leggings/ joggers, suitable trainers for exercise. You will still need a coat and a water bottle and should bring your Reading Record as usual on PE days. 

Daily tasks (Compulsory)

• read to yourself for at least 20 minutes every day (have a parent/ carer sign your Reading Record at least once a week)

• play a game on TT Rockstars at least 3 times a week

• play a game on Spelling Shed at least 3 times a week (Spelling tests will be every Monday)

You should create a strong daily routine where you set aside time EVERY DAY at home to practise what you have been learning in school. We will be checking these regularly and will work with you to solve any problems preventing you from doing these simple tasks. 

Weekly (Compulsory during term time) 

• Weekly Maths and English tasks will be set each Monday and are to be completed by the following Monday

Extra Credit (Voluntary)

We would love to see any projects you complete independently at home and will be giving lots of Dojo Points as rewards for going above and beyond our expectations.
