Welcome to Tigers! 

Welcome to our Year 5/6 Tigers class!

This term, some children from Tigers will be going swimming on Monday afternoons (selected children will change each term to ensure all children have an opportunity to go swimming).  Our PE lessons will be on Wednesday (taught by Mr Bolton) and Friday afternoons (taught by Mr Stratton).

Swimming reminder: Swimming costume (girls, one piece swimsuit and boys, swimming trunks), all children must have a hat and a towel. 

Please remember that on our PE days, children should come to school wearing their school uniform and must bring their PE kit in a separate bag (children will no longer be wearing their PE kit for the whole day). 

Please remember: PE kit is a plain white T-shirt, hoodie, plain shorts/joggers and trainers. No football shirts. 

For safety, please ensure earrings are removed and long hair is tied back on both of these days. 

We are all looking forward to a very successful year with our class.

Please, if you have any questions or worries do not hesitate to contact us on the class email or on Class Dojo!
