Thank you to all of the parents that were able to attend my meeting on Tuesday. I appreciate that many working parents were unable to attend so have copied the presentation that I used and the 'What We Are Learning' document below. Also to help with the key info that I'd want to know, here is a brief summary:
- Indoor and outdoor PE kits needed for Tuesday
- Swimming only for those who have been told by myself
- Spellings handed out weekly
- H/W handed out weekly (depending on type so see PowerPoint for details)
- Ensure children are reading 10-15min 5 days a week and completing spellings 10min per day 5 days a week
- Any 1:1 work with your child will be shown within their school home school organiser and reading record
- Independence, resilience, challenge and enjoyment are the key concepts behind our learning journey in year 5
