Something New!
Reading Stars. 
Our aim for this term is for everyone to try to read 10 books in order for pupils to achieve their BRONZE STAR badge. (The books do not have to be from the school reading scheme.) Twenty books read earns a silver star and gold is awarded for reading 30 books. Year 5 staff will be keeping a reading log at school to record each book. Let's get reading!
Year 5 - Walking Home Alone
Written Permission to walk home alone must be given. Please ask us for a permission slip if you need one.
Please let us knw if you have moved or changed your phone number during the holidays, so that your contact details are up to date.
Our priority is your child's happiness and well-being. Parents and carers, if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, please don't hesitate to contact us by phone or through an appointment at the office.
Best wishes,
Mrs. Paris and Mrs. Burrows
