Good morning to all who will enter Jaguars next week (Sept 2025).  I am so looking forward to catching up with you and finding out about your summers.

It is normal to feel a little jittery as we get closer to the start date - we all do (including me!!!!).  Just remember to come with a smile and we will settle any nerves on Wednesday morning - enjoy the rest of your holidays until then.

Quick heads up - PE slots will be on Thursday and Friday this year.

See you next week

PE Lessons

PE lessons are Thursday and some Fridays. Please remember to have your kit in school at all times. The following items are expected:

Indoor kit

• Purple t-shirt
• black shorts
• black pumps

Outdoor kit

• purple t-shirt
• black shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms
• purple or black sweatshirt
• trainers suitable for exercise and use on the playground as well as on grass

The school policy states that all jewellery should be removed. Plasters are not allowed to cover earrings, they must be removed. Religious symbols are also not allowed to be worn during PE lessons for health and safety reasons.  Please can we ask for kit to be named.

Water Bottles

Individual water bottles should be brought to school and taken home daily for cleaning and refilling.  It is scientifically proven that children and adults function better when hydrated, enabling great learning. School cannot supply single use plastic cups to children without water bottles, please ensure your child brings this daily.

Thank you for your support!

Homework Information

The pupils will be given 3 pieces of homework per week.

1. Reading: This is the most important skill that your child can learn. Reading fluently and for enjoyment opens many doors both in their childhood and adult lives. Pupils should bring their reading book to school and home again everyday. They are expected to read a minimum of 4 times a week for 20 minutes.  Ideally this would be daily, however I realise that this is not always possible Pupils who do not reach this target of 4 times a week will be asked to catch this time up during school. 

2. Multiplication facts practice: Each pupil has been provided with a login to the TTRockstar website. This is a fun way to practice multiplication facts. This should also be done regularly to increase fluency and speed of recall for each of the facts. The curriculum expectation at Y5 is that pupils will be able to instantly recall all multiplication and related division facts to 12x12.  For the rest of the school year, pupils will be completing mixed multiplication questions.   

3. Spellings: The pupils will bring home a sheet each Friday and this will also be available below. This should be returned each Friday completed.  Spelling tests will take place each Friday morning. Those pupils who do not do their homework and do not gain a green score will need further practice during a Friday playtime.
