Key information for Spring Term
Arrival and collection
Our arrival time each morning is from 8:45am - 9:00am and we leave at 3:10pm.
What to bring from home
Children should bring in a water bottle which they will take home each day as well as their packed lunch (if they do not receive a school lunch). These will be kept at/under their desk. They can also bring in their own hand gel if they wish. They do not need any other equipment such as pencil cases, stationary etc as school provides everything children need. Children can also bring a healthy snack to have during morning break time.
PE days
Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday. On Tuesday and Friday, the children should come into school wearing their PE kit and they will remain in their PE kit all day. PE kit consists of white t shirt, black jogging bottoms/purple shorts, purple hoody and trainers. On Fridays children will need sturdy outdoor shoes/boots suitable for woodland activities. We will not be swimming this half term!
Homework
Children will have a Maths and an English task to complete each week. These will go home on a Monday, to be returned the following Monday.
Children will be asked to work on some Topic-based tasks which will be in a grid format - please see the link below for Topic Homework for Spring 1. These suggested tasks can be done at any point during the Spring Term.
We encourage you to take photos of any finished tasks and tweet them to us @BishopCEPrimary, send a photo on Class Dojo or bring the finished tasks into school. We will then be able to give verbal feedback and share the work as a class.
Year 6 Spelling booklets
Spellings will go home every Monday and there will be a Spelling Test every Monday on these words.

We need to try to limit what we bring from home at the moment.

They can also bring in their own hand gel if they wish. They do not need any other equipment such as pencil cases, stationary etc as they will have everything they need at their own desk.
PE days
Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday. On these days, the children should come into school wearing their PE kit. They do not need to bring in their normal school uniform to get changed into, they will just stay in their PE kit all day. As the vast majority of our PE needs to take place outdoors, they should wear a PE t-shirt and a tracksuit/appropriate sports clothing that is suitable for all weather.

For the alternate week, the children will be asked to work on some topic-based tasks about the Rainforest. These tasks are to be done at home in those alternate weeks when they don’t have their Homework books. We are not able to bring things in from home at the moment, so we ask that you take photos of any finished tasks and tweet them to us @BishopCEPrimary or send a photo on Class Dojo.
