P.E.

P.E. is taught twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. Your child should keep their P.E. kit in a named bag in school all week and it should include:

• A house colour t-shirt
• Black shorts
• Black jogging bottoms
• Black jumper
• Trainers/plimsoles. 

Please ensure that all items are named as this makes it easier to return items if they are mislaid.

Outdoor Learning

At points during the year, your child will engage in Outdoor Learning. When your child is participating in Outdoor Learning, they will need:

• A warm jumper
• A waterproof coat
• Long trousers
• Wellies
• Warm socks

More information will be sent regarding the dates in which your child will be taking part in Outdoor Learning. 

Reading 

Reading is fundamental to all children's education. In Upper Key Stage 2, we will be focusing on a range of key skills including information retrieval, summarising main ideas, drawing inferences, predicting what might happen next, word meaning and comparisons within and across texts. 

In addition to the reading that your child will engage with at school, they are expected to read at home at least four times a week and should record their reflection in their reading record. Although your child will be more independent with their reading, it is important that you engage in discussions with their reading and on a regular basis, still listen to them read. As a school, we celebrate and recognise how often your child reads using our 'Reading Around the Universe' initiative. 

Your child is responsible for changing their own book once they have completed it. Please can you work with us to encourage your child to choose books from a variety of genres and authors.
