Welcome back to the new academic year at Tipton Green! We hope that you had a fantastic holiday and the children have been able to recharge their batteries – we have certainly had the weather for it this year!

For more details about our learning this term, please see the Curriculum Overview..

Our PE sessions will take place on:

Class 7: Wednesday and Thursday

Class 8 & 9: Tuesday and Wednesday

Children will need to come to school in their PE uniforms on these days.

Each term, one class will also receive swimming lessons as part of their PE curriculum. When this occurs, the class will have one PE lesson in school, with the other being their swimming lesson (more information will follow regarding swimming lessons).

It would also be appreciated if all uniform (including PE) is labelled with your child’s full name and class. Please can we remind parents/ carers that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days.

Reading

Children will continue to receive reading books linked to their ability, and a library book which they will have the opportunity to change weekly during our library slot. We encourage your children to read as many times as they can weekly, and fill in progress areas to develop in their reading diaries. This will also be filled out by a class teacher as a form of communication between home and school. This will significantly support their learning. Children should bring their reading books to school every day.

Spellings

Children in year 5 will be grouped according to ability for spelling. If your child is working on RWI phonics they will have 5 lessons per week and will receive weekly spellings. If your child is working at age related spellings they will have 2 Oak academy lessons per week and will receive weekly spellings.

The gate to the playground will be opened at 8.35am and closed at 9.00am. Late children will need to report to the main office.

We look forward to working with you over the next year to ensure your child’s time spent with us is valuable. If you have any questions/queries now or throughout the year, please do not hesitate to speak to us, we will endeavour to help in any way we can. Thank you for your continued support.

Using a range of gadgets and utensils, the children cut, shaped, and combined their dough with growing confidence. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm, teamwork, and creativity shine throughout the activity.

Throughout the day, the children took part in a variety of scenarios designed to teach them how to stay safe in everyday situations. A great day was had by a

Stay Safe, Speak Out – NSPCC Assembly

This week, our children took part in a special assembly led by the NSPCC about the importance of staying safe and speaking out. During the session, the children were introduced to Buddy , the NSPCC’s friendly green mascot. Buddy is shaped like a speech bubble to remind us that it’s always important to speak out if we ever have any worries or if something doesn’t feel right. The assembly helped everyone understand that all children have the right to: Speak out and have their
