P.E.
In Year 5, we have P.E. on a Tuesday afternoon.
Children can come into school wearing their P.E. kit on Tuesday.
Please make sure they are wearing:
- A plain red t-shirt
- Plain black shorts, plain black joggers or plain leggings
- Black trainers
Skorts are not suitable as they can get caught on the apparatus during gym lessons.
Football kits and joggers with large logos or stripes are not allowed.
Hoodies are not allowed.
The normal school sweatshirt can be worn over the red t-shirt.
If you do not have the full correct kit for your child please send them to school in normal uniform and their P.E.clothes in a bag to change into before the lesson. They will not be allowed to spend all day in school in the incorrect kit.
Swimming
Year 5 are currently going swimming on a Thursday morning at Birmingham University's swimming pool in Selly Oak. The children are taught by 4 qualified swimming instructors, using their new and modern facilities.
The children will leave the school at 09:10 to catch the coach to Selly Oak, therefore, the children will be able to come into school from 08:30 via Mr Davis' door. If your child does not arrive by the time we leave for the coach, we will leave without them, so please make sure they arrive at school on time.
On Thursdays, children should wear their school uniform and have their swimming kit with them in a separate bag.

CHILDREN MUST HAVE A TOWEL
Children are allowed to use swimming goggles, but the child is responsible for them.
If children must wear head or body coverings, this is allowed.
Jewellery must be removed before the lessons.
Year 5 Daily Timetable
Below is a general weekly timetable.
This is subject to change because of visitors, visits etc.
Homework
There are three homework expectations in Year 5 for each week: read twice a week and record these reads in their Reading Diary, weekly spellings and maths.
New spellings will be sent home on a Friday for testing the following Friday.
One piece of maths homework will be sent home on a Friday for the following Friday.
This can be submitted to the homework tray at any time before the Friday.
