Hello Everyone, welcome to the White Water Lillies web page. We will be adding lots of information about your childrens learning throughout the year. Your children's teachers are Miss Byrne, Miss Gascoigne.

Below you will find a link, where Miss Byrne and Miss Mushtaq explain the routines for Year 5.

This year, the children will have plenty of opportunities to show you all the fantastic learning they will be doing in and out of school. 

Each week all children will receive homework and a reading book. Homework is a chance for the learning we have been doing in classes to be reinforced at home, as well as allowing your children to get creative with English, Maths, and Reading. Homework and Reading books are to be taken home and returned on a specified day to minimise the number of things children are bringing in to school. Please see your child's class page for more details on this. In the file section, you will find the curriculum overview. Please have a look and you will find all the information you require for this year's learning.

School Rules: 

Is it kind?  Is it safe?  Is it my best?

P.E is every other Thursday.

P.E takes place every Thursday afternoon. Please ensure children have their P.E kits in school.

P.E kit reminder:

* Black pumps (no trainers).

* Black shorts (girls are allowed to wear black leggings).

*Red T-shirt

If they are wearing earrings and can not remove them, then they must be covered with plasters or tape. Please send your child to school with a water bottle. This should be a clear bottle with your child's name on it and should only be water.

Equipment

All pens, pencils and other equipment needed for lessons will be provided, therefore children do not need to bring their own pencil cases into school. Children should not be bringing backpacks into school as we do not have the room to store them safely. Children can bring a reading book bag which is available from Mrs Iqbal in the school office.

Homework.

Homework is issued every Thursday and is returned the following Tuesday, it will also be uploaded to the website under the homework tab. You will find the weekly homework in the homework section. Your children will have a reading book and reading record. Your childs reading day will be written on the front of the record book.

Our online platform.

Each term I will be sending home a knowledge organiser. Please encourage your child to read through it and learn some of the vocabulary linked to the topics we will be learning. If they want to do some research on the topics we will be learning this will be more than welcomed. I always enjoy looking at what the children have been learning at home.
