Please check your child's PE days (below) so that you can make sure they're wearing appropriate clothing to school on these days (jogging bottoms or leggings, a white t-shirt and trainers - plus a sweatshirt/jumper in colder weather).

Enrichment
The Sheringham curriculum is enriched with lots of experiences, workshops and educational visits. This helps bring learning to life and gives all children the experiences they need to fully access their learning.
This year, our offer includes:
- The Science Museum
- Westminster Abbey
- Swimming
- Library visits
In addition, Year 5 takes part in a one night residential during the month of June. This opportunity is designed to develop independence. It takes place in Summer 2 and more information will be shared via Arbor, closer to the time.
Homework
Our homework offer is designed to give children time to practice their developing skills.
The main focus is reading. Every child will bring home a book once a week. We ask that parents sign their children’s reading journals so that teachers can be aware of how children are getting on with reading at home.
In addition, we send home weekly spellings and maths questions. This is shared on Google Classroom. Please request a paper copy from the class teacher.
We also have a Mathletics subscription and TTRS to be used year round.
We invite parents to workshops over the year, to share information about how we learn at school. Please check our weekly Arbor updates for upcoming workshop dates.
