WELCOME TO YEAR 5
This term’s learning journey is Ice Worlds (first half term) and Victorians (second half term) .

Swimming:
When swimming the children will need trunks or a one-piece costume, as well as a towel, a swimming hat, and goggles if they wish. As before, replacement swimming hats should be available at cost price at the school office. Please make sure your child arrives at the time stated below to ensure they don't miss the lesson and that they are wearing appropriate clothing for the weather.
PE:
PE Uniform Guidelines:
On PE days, children should attend school already wearing their PE kit, which consists of:
· A plain, collarless white T-shirt
· White or charcoal/dark grey shorts, leggings or jogging bottoms
· Plimsolls or trainers
Art:
We do use acrylic paints (as well as PVA glue) during art lessons, so it would be both advisable and helpful if all children could bring in an art t-shirt to keep in school.
