PE
PE lessons will be on a Tuesday and taught by Mrs O'Brien. Please make sure that on Tuesday:

ACCELERATED READING
Year 5 take part in the accelerated reading scheme, where they are given 20 minute independent reading time every day. AR is a computer program that helps to manage and monitor children’s independent reading practice. Your child picks a book at his/her own level and reads it at his/her own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz on the computer - passing the quiz is an indication that your child has understood what has been read. AR gives both children and teachers feedback based on the quiz results which the teacher then uses to help the child set targets and ongoing reading practice.

HELPING YOUR CHILD ACHIEVE

- Your child needs to attend school before or after a medical/dentist appointment
- If your child is ill and can’t attend school for whatever reason, then contact the school immediately
- Encourage your child to practise their basic skills - times tables, reading, spelling, writing using one of the exciting websites that we use.
