Year 5 Attendance At Broad Square Primary School Every School Day Counts.

At Broad Square Primary School Every Minute Counts. The external doors and gate are closed and children enter through the office. Lateness = Lost learning. Children do not like to arrive to school late, it is upsetting. They miss out on so much. Your child will be missing learning opportunities if you are not in school or are late to school. We work closely with our Liverpool City Council’s Education Welfare Office and Liverpool Social Services, unauthorised absences could result in fixed penalty fines.

Year 5 Behaviour Our School Values are: Excellence; Responsibility; Respect; Community; Enjoyment; Compassion and Perseverance Children in 5 E can receive the following rewards: • Smiley faces • Marbles for their table • A reward from Mrs Parry for reading • Pupil of the week

Home-School Links Home school links are very important to us and we want you to be as involved with your child’s learning as possible! • Writing Café • Reading Café • Mathematics Café Letters will go out with timetables and don’t forget to check the website too!

Online Safety Tips Reputable organisations used by minors often have this button displayed so that it is easy to report abuse of concerns about something your child has seen. • Explore the technology that your child enjoys: play their games, listen to the music they download. • Remind older siblings that some of the websites they use may not be suitable for their siblings. • When talking about bullying, relationships etc do not forget to include online aspects. • Set boundaries and rules for their online behaviour. Please go to childnet. com for advice about how to set up parental controls with your internet provider, mobile operator, devices and online services. BUT please remember that no parental controls of filtering option is 100% effective.

Year 5 Home Learning Reading Children are expected to read at least 3 times a week and Mrs Parry monitors this daily so please ensure children bring their book bag in every day. Spellings Children will receive new spellings every Friday. They will have a ‘pre-test’ on a Thursday and then an opportunity to take the test again on a Friday if they don’t pass. Homework Children will receive homework 3 evenings a week. On a Monday they will receive Literacy (usually a comprehension) which will be due back on a Wednesday. The children will receive Topic homework on a Wednesday which is due back on Friday and on a Friday children will receive Maths homework which is due back on Monday.

Year 5 Trips & Visits • Educational trips and visits will be used to support your child’s learning in class. While the trip takes place during school hours, you do not need to provide additional permission. We will however, always inform you of a trip due to take place. • If your child takes part in a trip that extends beyond the school day, permission will be required for your child to attend the trip.
