2025-26 Curriculum Information

What To Bring Each Day

Each day, your child will need to bring the following into school:

A water bottle. This will be sent home each evening so a clean one can be sent in the following day. Please bring it in filled with water ready for the day ahead.
Reading record and reading books. Your child should have this in school every day.
A coat (preferably waterproof).

PE

Year 5 will have PE on a Monday and Friday. Please ensure that your child comes into school wearing their PE kit on this day. It is really important they have a kit that is suitable for indoor and outdoor weather as we will be outside when the weather permits. Children should wear a white T-shirt. black/navy shorts/joggers and trainers. They should also wear their school jumper.

In addition to PE lessons, we will continue with regular movement breaks and laps around the track. This is beneficial for the children socially, mentally and physically.

Homework

Homework will be given out on Wednesday and are expected to be handed back into school the following Monday. It will comprise of 3 pieces.

Maths homework will be sent online via MyMaths - Please see your child’s homework book for further details. We will review this homework each week. We advise having a piece of paper and pen at hand as sometimes it can help to write methods down before inputting online.

Grammar and Reading homework will alternate each week. These will be manageable tasks, based on previous learning for consolidation, so for the most part, children should be independent. We expect the same level of pride in presentation and general effort as we do in class, so please do encourage your child to try their best.

There will also be weekly spelling homework. This will be linked to Scode spelling work and year 5 spelling practise.

We fully understand how busy term time can be, so if for any reason your child was unable to complete their homework, just drop us a note via your child to let us know. Thank you!

Please continue to encourage your children to read at home, ideally daily, but at least three times a week for 20-30 minutes. They may bring home a book from school, or read their own books. Reading out loud to an adult or being read to, is not only for younger children - pupils of all ages benefit enormously from this. Where possible, try to add any reading that you do together in your child’s reading diary.
