Reminder:

After a bit of confusion, we wanted to confirm that children will be finishing school on  Tuesday 19th July at normal time.

We’ve had a fantastic visit to the coast this week, as part of our Coasts topic. We started our journey from Chichester Marina and walked to Dell Quay. We saw the effects of erosion along the coastline and some of the sea defences that have been put in place to slow the erosion. Once we arrived at Dell Quay, we looked for a variety of marine life (plant and animal) along the shoreline before taking a trip aboard the solar boat. It was a hot day but we found plenty of shade and enjoyed the cool breeze coming off the sea.

Enjoy a scorcher of a weekend,

The Year 5 Team

Reminders for next week:

There is no homework set this week as we are giving children to catch up on any homework they have not completed. Homework and a book review were due yesterday so please encourage your child to complete any outstanding book review or homework tasks not completed. If not returned by Monday, then children will be given the opportunity to catch up at breaktime.

Chichester Harbour Trip – Thursday 14th July – packed lunch, water bottle and suitable footwear and clothing for the weather. A heatwave is forecast next week.

Road Safety

This week saw the Year 5 took part in an online Road Safety workshop to support and reflect on the messages that the Road Safety Officers have been sharing with the whole school this year. The children considered how to stay safe as a pedestrian and a cyclist. Key messages were to remind us to cross the road at safe places, wear a helmet when cycling and to be seen with high viz clothes in dull light.

Have a great weekend,

The Year 5 Team
