Assessment Termly tests will take place, but these are used in conjunction with ongoing • assessment as they only provide a snapshot. Children are encouraged to take an active role in marking and editing • their own work for improvement. Weekly tests: • Assertive mentoring (covers a question for every method learnt) • Times tables • Spellings • Children will take an active role in marking and editing their own work. • Using the marking to help progress their learning.
Homework Homework is set on a Friday, and due in on a Wednesday the following week. When homework is marked the children can get up to 3 family points and a party point. 1 family point – handed in on late, but completed 2 family points – handed in on time and fully completed 3 family points – effort has been clearly put in and presentation is neat 3 family points AND 1 party point – you have gone above and beyond expected. Alongside the homework task, times tables and spellings will continue to be set each week to practise. These can be practised and recorded however they wish, it could either be written or a note from an adult. If a Mymaths task is set and there is no access to a computer at home, then a school computer can be used during their break time to complete the task. If homework is not complete, then they will lose the class a party point.
House keeping! Attendance On time to school each day. We complete a quick 10 minute mental maths warm up each morning, so being on time is important! Arrival after 8:50am will result in a late mark. Please note, there is an update to our Attendance Policy following the County expectations regarding attendance. Key changes are detailed on the Parentmail message and Newsletter. At the end of the day the children are collected from the KS2 playground. Children can walk home on their own in Year 5, under the permission of a parent or guardian. If you want your child to walk home alone, then make the office aware. Mobile phones are banned from school. However, should a mobile be needed for safety when walking home, or another similar situation, then it MUST be signed into the office. Any phones found in school bags will be removed and given to the office.
House keeping! Pencil cases are allowed, but no more than 1 pencil case. Everything has to be able to fit inside the pencil case. Encouragement to use the toilet and drink during break and lunch times to minimise disruptions during lessons, unless a medical reason prevents this. Uniform-looking smart – Names in all clothing. PE – earrings need to be removed and long hair tied back. PE on Mondays and Tuesdays, but changes to Monday and Friday after half term (but best have PE kit in school all the time!)
