  3. Independence and Organisation In Year 5 the children will be expected to show a much greater level of independence and maturity at school, and set a good example in the playground. They are now expected to be more independent with their belongings as follows:- • P.E. equipment in school (Tuesday Games/Wednesday indoor) • Home School Diary and reading book in school on a daily basis. • Homework set and handed in on a Wednesday. • Spellings set and tested on a Monday. • Named water bottle taken home daily.

  4. Homework Homework will be given out on Wednesday. • Every week your child will have a Maths and English task, with topic research work set occasionally. • Reading – daily, with a comment in the Home School Diary each time they read. • Spellings – your child will receive 6 spellings each week. On alternate weeks, all children will get statutory spellings from the new curriculum, the following week, the children will receive differentiated spellings. • Tables facts – It is expected that by the end of Year 5, the children are secure in all times tables up to the 12x table. • Your child should return their homework by Wednesday.

  6. Rewards and Sanctions • House points- children will be awarded house points for following the Golden Rules. Who will win the House Cup? • Class cup – individual award for going ‘above and beyond’ the Golden Rules & producing a ‘Wow’ moment. • SMART awards – outstanding neatness • Golden Time • Marble jar– Whole class reward • Marvellous Me – because they are!

  7. Holidays • Our school year is very busy. 5 days of holiday or illness every year of primary school adds up to over half a term of missed learning! • We therefore ask that you avoid taking your child out of school for holidays during term time. We are unable to provide work for holiday absence. • Please be aware that government rules are tightening regarding holidays in term time and if absence is becoming an issue / affecting progress you may be liable for a fine.
