Theseus and the Minotaur!

Some of our Year 5 children created some challenging mazes for each other to work out in Forest School today after hearing all about the story of Theseus and the Minotaur!

Year 5 Swimming / PE

Good morning,

Just a quick recap regarding swimming this term in Year 5.

In addition to what was stated on the letter, children will no longer be asked to wear PE kit to school on a Monday for this term. Instead, we ask children to come to school in their PE kit on both Wednesday’s (Our swimming day) and Friday’s (Our outdoor PE session).

If it is easier for your child, they can wear their swimming kit underneath their PE kit on Wednesday.

Thank you πŸ™‚

Parent DEAR Time Sessions

During the autumn term we held DEAR time sessions (Drop Everything And Read) for you to come into school and read with your children. Due to the success of these and how much the children enjoyed it, we will be holding DEAR time open door sessions again in the spring term for you to come into school and spend some relaxed time with your child at the end of the school day and either listen to them read, read to them or even read together.

Each session will take place between 2:55pm and 3:15pm.

Please see the dates below for when your child’s year group will be holding their DEAR time open door session.

Reflection

Years 5 have taken some time today to reflect. Life is very busy. We are all so busy doing lots of different things each day we sometimes forget to reflect. The children enjoyed having some time to focus on what they were proud of and focused on themselves.
