About this year group

Reading books

Children are expected to read daily. If children are on Accelerated Reader then they can quiz and change their book everyday except Wednesday. The quiz will check the children's comprehension of what they have read, so we ask that they read their book at least twice before quizzing. If children are working on the ELS phonics then their reading books will be changed once a week in line with the scheme.

PE

PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays. Children should come into school wearing their school PE kit. Trainers should have Velcro until your child can tie their own shoe laces.

Library

Children visit the school library on Wednesdays. They will bring a book home, these books are to share and enjoy rather than the children to read by themselves. Please ensure children return their book every Wednesday so that they can choose a new book.

Spellings

Spelling quizzes take place on Monday, please see the homework section of the website for the weekly words, or check inside your child's homework book.

Homework

Homework is set weekly, please check your child's homework book weekly.

⚠️Tavistock Road Accident⚠️ As you may know there has been an accident on Tavistock Road (coming from Derriford, outside the Tamar pub) which is causing delays due to diversions. We are unsure whether this road will be re-opened for collection time, so please ensure that you leave plenty of time to collect your child from school. Thank you.

To commemorate VE Day, a few of our Year 5 forces children were lucky to be invited to a special celebration at the Crownhill Royal Bristish Legion. The children chatted to veterans, including Geoff, who had brought his medals for them to look at and presented them with two commemorative coins with Winston Churchill on for the school to keep. They attended a short service outside, where they sang the national anthem. The V.E. Day 80 colouring competition prizes were handed out and Neymar accepted Amylia’s from Shark on her behalf. They enjoyed red, white and blue cupcakes and had chicken nuggets and chips for lunch, which they shared with Deputy Lord Mayor, Cllr Pauline Murphy. They were given sweetie bags to take home and all said they would like to do the same next week! ⭐️ The Widey children conducted themselves well & were praised for their good behaviour. Thank you Sarah Maiden and Mrs Dawes for organising this event! Very special! ❤️⚪️💙

The children in Foundation enjoyed their final forest school session this afternoon! They listened to the important rules when moving around the fire pit and demonstrated their responsibility by kneeling down and toasting their own marshmallows! Yummy! Thank you to Mrs Maiden, Mrs Dawes and Millie for giving our children this amazing experience! 🔥🌳
