Welcome to Year 5! I hope you have all had a wonderful Summer and are ready to start the new year in Year 5. I look forward to welcoming you into class and look forward to getting to know you all!
I just wanted to let you know our PE days will be Tuesdays (swimming) and Wednesdays (outdoor PE).
Tuesdays will be swimming and this will start on Tuesday 9th September and take place each Tuesday afternoon throughout the year. If you haven’t already, please make sure that you have completed and signed the swimming forms given to you at the end of Year 4.
The children will be accompanied to the pool by Mrs Hodgkiss and Mrs McCooey. The children will need to come into school on a Tuesday with their school PE kit for the day and will need with them their swimming kit in a separate bag to their school bag. Children will need either a one-piece swimsuit or swimming trunks (please see photo of acceptable type as baggy swim shorts are not allowed) - swim vests are also acceptable for those who prefer to use them, a towel, swim hat for all girls and boys who have a longer hair style or fringe, and goggles (if you returned and signed the goggles letter). The children will not need shampoo or shower gel as they will only have time to rinse and get dressed quickly ready to return to school. If your child has asthma, inhalers will be taken to the pool by the teachers so please make sure your child has an up to date inhaler in school as soon as possible.
Please ensure your child brings a coat to school each day just in case of rain - we will still want to get outside for some fresh air even if it is a bit cold or just a bit of rain.
Thank you and I look forward to meeting you all soon,
Mrs McVey
