Welcome to 5P....where we are all superstars!

We encourage all our children to develop both their cooperative and independent learning skills, whilst following our school rules of READY, RESPECTFUL and SAFE.

To keep you up to date with all that is happening at school, we aim to communicate via the website, Class Dojo, email and text message. Please make sure school has your most current details.

Important dates and things to remember:

Reading Books: Will be issued shortly. Books are issued based on the child's half termly Star Reading Test score. Children should be reading for at least 20 minutes each day. Planners need to be used to record daily reading progress and signed by an adult at home weekly.

Planners: Each child has their own planner which is to be brought in daily. Their planner will be used for a range of things, including, but not limited to spellings, reading books, communication to and from school and test scores. Children will also need to record their daily reading progress.

Homework: We encourage all children to complete online homework where possible to minimise paper waste. Homework is issued on a Friday, to be completed/returned by Tuesday. There will be a handwriting sheet linked to the weekly spellings and an activitiy set on one of our school subscriptions, which may include: Google Classroom, Mathletics, Spelling Shed and Cracking Comprehension. Children have all passwords in their planners!

Spellings: Spellings, which relate to the national curriculum expectations for KS2 will be written in planners. Please ensure that these are looked at daily as there will be a spelling challenge each week.

Times Tables: Please make sure your child is regularly working on their times tables fluency at home. This is a key requirement for all children and impacts highly on their daily maths work.

PE: Our PE days are every Monday and each alternate Friday. Please make sure you child comes to school in their PE kit. The kits should be black jogging bottoms (no logos) a yellow PE t-shirt and black trainers (for outdoor sports).
