General Information
PE PE will be on Monday and Tuesdays for Stingray Class and on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Manta Ray Class. On those days appropriate PE kit should be worn including appropriate footwear (e.g. trainers with shorts and t shirt or a sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms/leggings in cloder weather). Please no crop tops or jewelry.
Homework Every Friday we will post some 'ask me about questions' on our homework page . These give a biref overview of the week's learning and ideas for questions to ask your child. We hope this helps you to know a bit about what goes on in school and helps children to consolidate their understanding. We will also provide a spelling list for the week ahead. Please continue to encourage your child to read and practise maths number facts regularly.
Reading All children should be reading regularly throughout the week. As your child gets more fluent and independent they may want to read alone, in their head, this is fine. However, we ask parents/carers to check their child is understanding the story by asking them questions and also encouraging children to check the meaning of words/plots if they are unsure.
Spelling We will provide a list of spellings for children to learn each week. Throughout the week we will help the children identify the words they need to practise and also strategies they can use to effectively remember them. We will have a spelling test every Friday. Please support your child with learning their spellings. Click here for ideas on how to learn your spellings.
Mobile phones Mobile phones are only needed if your child walking home by themselves. Please fill in the online form below to give permission - https://www.fairlight.brighton-hove.sch.uk/school-office/medicine-administration/mobile-phone-permissions . Please read the information carefully and share it with your child. Before allowing your child to bring their mobile phone to school, please bear in mind that the school does not permit their use for communication during the school day. Phones will sit turned off for the entire day inside a box in a locker.
Walking home alone This may be something you start to think about as your child gets a little older. If you decide to allow your child to walk home alone at any point during the year please read the information on this link carefully and fill in the form to give your permission. https://www.fairlight.brighton-hove.sch.uk/school-office/medicine-administration/walking-home-permissions-form
Water bottles Please bring them in! Children must only have water in the bottle which they use in the classroom (squash and fruit juice can be brought in for lunchtimes but cannot be drunk in the classroom as they are very sticky if spilt).
Jumpers Please make sure your child's jumpers and/or cardigans are named so we can easily return them if they get left around the school or in the playground.
Communication with Year 5 team & School Please grab us at the end of the day or you can email workathome@fairlight.brighton-hove.sch.uk. |
