PE	PE is every Tuesday afternoon. PE kits are to be in school and children will get changed after lunch.
Reading	Children are expected to read to an adult daily (around 15 minutes) and recorded in their diary. These will be checked on a weekly basis and reading completed at home will contribute towards the reading challenge. The children are responsible for changing their their own school reading book when necessary.
Water Bottles	Children need to have a named school water bottle in school which they can refill as needed throughout the day.
Homework	English and maths homework will be set on a Friday, to be completed and handed in the following Friday.
Times Tables	In Year 5 children are expected to know all the times tables, including division facts. We do fortnightly times tables challenges in class to reinforce these. Below are some suggested websites to help children practise. We also encourage children to participate in TTRS little and often and take part in a weekly competition to see which class has participated the most each week! https://www.ttrockstars.com https://www.timestables.co.uk/ https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button https://www.timestables.co.uk/games/
