Welcome to 5R

Teacher: Mr Cookson

Teaching Assistant: Ms Bradshaw

Homework 

The children will be set homework on a Friday which is to be handed in by the following Wednesday. All children will be given paper copies of homework and will be provided with a folder to keep them in. Please make sure that your child returns their homework in the folder so that the next week's homework can be placed inside to take home. 

Spellings

The children will be given weekly spellings to practise at home as part of their homework. Please ensure that your child is practising them as often as possible. Spellings will be set on a Friday and the children will be tested on the following Thursday. 

Reading

Your child will be given a new reading record at the start of the academic year. Please ensure that your child brings their reading book and reading record to school everyday. Children can change their home reading book on any day of the week. If your child needs to change their book, they must remember to place their reading book and reading record into the basket when they come into school in the morning. Please ensure that you are listening to your child read at least three times per week and that you are asking them questions about what they have read to help with their comprehension skills. Each time you listen to your child read, please sign their reading record. Books cannot be changed unless the reading record is signed by a parent / guardian.

PE

Our PE day in 5R is Wednesday. Please ensure that your child has the correct PE kit in school including suitable footwear so that they can participate in the lessons safely. If you child has their ears pierced, please ensure that they do not come to school with earrings in on the day that they have PE.

Outdoor Education

Your child will have outdoor education and an additional PE lesson every two weeks on a Monday morning. Please ensure that your child comes to school suitably dressed in clothes that can get muddy / dirty and are suitable for the weather conditions. Even in wet / cold weather, the children will still be doing activities outside so will need warm, waterproof clothing as and when required. Children can bring wellies into school when they have outdoor education. Please also make that they bring another pair of shoes with them i.e. trainers that they can change into after their outdoor education lesson.
