Class Prayers

Lunchtime: For what we are about to receive, may the Lord make us truly thankful,

Amen.

Hometime: Hold on to what is good, even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe, even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do, even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life, even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand, even if I've gone away from you.

Unicef Rights and Responsibility: Article 27

Children have the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical and mental needs. Governments should help families and guardians who cannot afford to provide this, particularly with regard to food, clothing and housing.

Our Class

Our doors open at 8.45am each morning. The children will enter the building through the Y5/Y6 doors. It is important that children are on time each day as we start handwriting at this time.

PE

We have PE each Tuesday afternoon. Children will need full pe kit, including black shorts, red t-shirt and black pumps.

Swimming

We will be going swimming each week on a Wednesday afternoon, starting on 21st February 2024. The correct swimming kit is needed for pupils to be allowed to go into the pool. Girls will need a one piece swimming suit plus a swimming cap. Boys will need swimming trunks (not shorts) and a swimming hat. Children may bring goggles if they wish to do so. 

Home learning

Every child has a home reading book which they take home each night. They are expected to read each night and parents/ carers should sign their child's reading record. It should then be brought back into school the following morning for checking. Homework is given out on a Friday and is expected back in by the Wednesday of the following week. As well as reading, children are expedcted to complete spelling practise and engage with TT rockstars and IXL. Homework is an essential part of a child's learning journey and so is non-negotiable in our school.
