Start and End of Day Routine
Children in Years 5 and 6 can arrive onto the main playground (top gate entrance) from 8.30am. Classroom doors will open from 08:45am and the top will stay open until 8:55am. The top gate and playground are supervised by SLT during this time.
When the children enter the classroom there will be a morning task set for the children. This might be responding to written feedback from the previous Maths or English lesson; finishing off work; completing some Arithmetic work; Grammar work; or they will be given time to read to help support them in hitting their reading target.
Children are also welcome to attend Breakfast club at 8.15am (paid) or 8:30am (via main office entrance) where toast, crumpets and juice are provided free of charge.
The top (junior) gates open again 3:05pm for the end of the day. Please ensure you update Arbor with permissions for children to be able to walk home alone.

Homework Expectations
In Year 5, children are expected to read for at least 4 times a week. Please can this be recorded in their reading records daily. This is a crucial element to the children’s progression in school.
Maths and Spelling Homework is sent out on a Monday and due in on a Friday. We will have a spelling test every Monday and record scores to track progress. Please make sure your child is practicing these spelling words each week.
Year 5 children will be given a termly Spelling overview with all of their spellings for the term. If your child requires a new Spelling overview please speak to your child's teacher.
