Homework

From September 2024, homework and Reading Records at Norwood have changed. We no longer have a formal Homework that is set each week, but instead ask that children practise their times tables using TTRS and their Spellings using Spelling Frame each week. Reading Records must be completed once a week and returned to school on Wednesday. Children will also complete a Reading Journal during this session to enable them to review their weekly reading with a picture of a character, facts they have learnt or a prediction of what might happen next. If your child would like to bring in the book they are reading at home to complete this, they are welcome to do so.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Musical Instruments

During Year 5, children have the opportunity to learn how to play a brass instrument. Music lessons will be taught weekly by two highly qualified teachers from Sefton.

After signing and returning the instrument consent form, children will be able to take their instrument home with them to practise what they have learnt in lessons that week.

Instruments will need to be brought into school every Wednesday for the music lesson.

Mini Police

Year 5 children can apply to be part of the Mini Police force and work with Sefton Police Officers, learning what it's like to be a police officer and working on ways to improve the local area.
