Autumn Term 

Equipment 

Please ensure your child has all equipment ready to learn, particularly blue handwriting pens, glue sticks, scissors and whiteboard pens. A reading book and named water bottle are also required daily.

Mobile phones 

In year 5, your child is allowed to bring in a mobile phone since they may now start to walk to and from school independently. Their phones must be turned off once they reach the school gate in the morning and handed in to their teacher during registration. At the end of the school day, the phone will be returned to your child which should not be turned on until they leave the school gate. Please ensure your child is aware that the phone is only to be used for the purpose of contacting yourself/family and not to use it when crossing roads. 

Each class has PE twice per week. One of these lessons is taught by the class teacher and one is taught by Miss Minter our Sports Coach and Forest School Leader.

Your child needs to come into school in their PE kit on the days that their PE lessons take place. This is a red polo shirt, school jumper or cardigan and black shorts or joggers. For safety reasons, we ask that hair be tied up, earrings be removed (or covered with tape) and no hoodies be worn.

Borneo -Monday & Thursday

China - Wednesday & Friday

India -Monday & Thursday

We are extremely lucky to have our very own Forest School and Forest School Leader at Thomas Coram. These lessons are taught by Miss Minter.

As Forest School takes place in the morning, your child needs to come to school in their Forest School clothes (with a change of school uniform in their bag). Forest School clothes is an old jumper, joggers and pair of outdoor boots or wellies. Forest School takes place in all weathers, so it is important that they are equipped to be outside. Legs and arms must be covered so shorts and t-shirts are not allowed.

Forest School for Year 5, takes place on Wednesday.

Year 5 Homework is set on a Friday and due the following Friday. The homework is to be completed in the homework book. If you require a paper copy, your child can get this from their teacher.
