Welcome to Year 5! I hope you have all had a wonderful Summer and are ready to start the new year in Year 5. I look forward to welcoming you into class tomorrow and look forward to getting to know you all!
I just wanted to let you know our PE days will be Tuesdays (swimming) and Wednesdays.
Tuesdays will be swimming and this will start on Tuesday 12th September and take place each Tuesday afternoon throughout the year. This Tuesday one of the swimming teachers will be coming to meet with the children and talk about swimming with them.
The children will be accompanied to the pool by me, Mrs McVey, and Mrs McCooey our class Teaching Assistant. The children will need to come into school on a Tuesday with their school PE kit for the day and will need with them their swimming kit in a separate bag to their school bag. Girls will need a one-piece swimsuit and boys will need swimming trunks (please see photo of acceptable type as baggy swim shorts are not allowed), a towel, swim hat for all girls and boys who have a longer hair style or fringe, and goggles if you return the signed goggles letter (this will come home with the forms after Mrs Wilson’s visit to us on Tuesday. The children will not need shampoo or shower gel as they will only have time to rinse and get dressed quickly ready to return to school. If your child has asthma, inhalers will be taken to the pool by the teachers so please make sure your child has an up to date inhaler in school as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Mrs McVey
