Hello and a very warm welcome to the Chamois Class from Mrs Hardman, Mrs Butt and Mr Pilling.

Each week all children will receive homework and a reading book. Homework is a chance for the learning we have been doing in classes to be reinforced at home, as well as allowing your children to get creative with English, Maths, and Reading. Homework and Reading books are to be taken home and returned on a specified day to minimise the number of things children are bringing in to school. Please see your child's class page for more details on this. 

Swimming

As part of the PE National Curriculum, swimming lessons will start for pupils in Year 5 on Wednesday mornings in September excluding any school holidays as they were not able to attend in Y4 due to COVID.

The two Y5 classes will each go on alternate weeks until Summer 2022.

Mrs Hardman’s class will start going swimming on 8/9/21

Miss Mushtaq’s class will start going swimming on 15/9/21

The pupils will leave school and travel by coach to and from Pendle Wavelengths for their swimming lesson.

They will be accompanied by a teacher and members of the support staff.

The requirements for the lesson are listed below.

1. Girls should wear a one piece swimming costume and the boys should wear trunks. Swimming shorts are not 
2. Children must bring a towel.
3. A bathing cap is essential for all girls.
4. Jewellery, including earrings, must NOT be worn. It is advisable to leave such items at home on swimming days.
5. Goggles may only be worn with the prior permission of the pool staff. A form and guidance should be obtained from Mrs Iqbal, if you wish your child to wear goggles.
6. Children may only be excused swimming when there are medical reasons for it.
7. Children with disabilities are encouraged to swim but parents should consult our teaching staff who will liaise with the pool staff.
8. Arrangements exist to cater for pupils where religious observance requires certain items of dress. Please ask if this applies to your child.                 
9. Medical needs that we are not aware of, including asthma, must be notified in writing to the Headteacher. School staff will take any medication that we have in school for your child, to the pool for your child to use if needed.

P.E

Children must have their pumps in school to be able to participate in weekly P.E. lessons (see individual class pages for your child's P.E. sessions). P.E is an essential part of the curriculum which all children should have access to. We will let you know if children do not have the correct kit with them.

All pens, pencils and other equipment needed for lessons will be provided, therefore children do not need to bring their own pencil cases into school.

Please ensure that the school is kept up-to-date with medical/dietary requirements and photographic permissions.

Finally, we hope all your children will enjoy their time in Year Five. There are some very exciting topics planned and we look forward to seeing and sharing their progress during the year.

Thank you
