Times Tables Rock Stars

As part of Maths week England, Coundon will be hosting a Maths Day on Tuesday 10th November. Through out the week, Times Tables Rock Stars are running a competition, where schools compete to win prizes. All you have to do is play as much as you can. There will also be a small prize for each class member who spends the most time playing games.

Good luck to you all and get playing!

Welcome to the new term

Welcome to the new term!

Hello Year 5, hope you are all well and enjoying the final few days of the summer holidays. The Year 5 Team are really looking forward to seeing you all on your first day back on Wednesday 2nd September. From September, the way in which you arrive and leave school will be slightly different with each class arriving and leaving school at different times. You will be expected to meet your class teacher at the Southbank entrance. Below are the times for each class.

5RB5JT5HA-B
Southbank entrance9.20am9.30am9.40am
Southbank entrance3.50pm4.00pm4.10pm

Please note that on the days when you will have P.E., you will need to come to school dressed in your P.E. kit for the day. We will inform you of the days in which you have P.E. during the first week back.

Please note: You are allowed to bring coats and bags.

Lunches: When bringing lunches into school, please remember that they must be in a disposable bag if possible. Lunch boxes can be brought into school, but must be taken home at the end of the day and cleaned.

Enjoy your last few days of the summer holiday and we will see you on Wednesday 2nd September 2020.

PE at Coundon… a few changes!

From September and in line with Government Guidance, we will be getting outside a lot more (in all sorts of weather conditions), this will include our PE lessons.

We will be asking the children to come into school on their PE days IN THEIR PE UNIFORM. (They will find out their PE days during the first week back). They will then stay in this for the day, so a change of clothes will not be needed in school. The main reason for this change is for safety reasons; it has been advised that we reduce the amount of belongings that are coming to and from each home and onto the school site.

For the older children, this change also comes about as there will be reduced space for them to change separately (boys and girls) due to them being in their class bubbles.

To make sure that the children are suitably dressed once the cooler weather sets in, we would like the children to have black jogging bottoms, a black hoody or sweatshirt and suitable outdoor footwear to wear alongside their usual white t-shirt and black shorts.

We thank you for your support with this.

Miss Kelly Perrett and Mrs Victoria Gray
