Things to remember:

It is crucial that children read frequently and that they enjoy the books they read. Griffin Park actively fosters a love of reading, and we encourage parents to do the same by making sure your child reads and tracks their progress in their reading record on a regular basis (at least four times per week!). 

Additionally, every Friday, spellings are sent home for learning. The following Friday is the designated test day. Our spellings are based on a list of Statutory Spellings Years 5 and 6 from the National Curriculum that kids should be able to spell by the time they finish primary school.

P.E. is every Tuesday and Friday. From September 2026, children in Year 5 can wear their PE kits on designated PE days.

Book bags and reading books should be brought into school every day.
