Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 5 have been invited to a secondary school taster day. This will be held at Portchester Community School on Friday 3rd July. It is important to make the point that this taster day is for the children to experience what happens during a typical day at Secondary School, whether that be at Portchester, Cams or another secondary school, and to gain some knowledge of the sorts of subjects that they will be studying.
The children will get the chance to work in various spaces around the school which may include labs and art studios. All Year 5 children should attend this day regardless of whether you wish them to attend Portchester Community School or Cams. Pupils need to arrive at Wicor at their normal time and go to class. Members of staff will walk them down to the Community School. School uniform should be worn and they need to bring a packed lunch and a water bottle. If your child is entitled to Free School Meals a packed lunch can be provided for them which you can order on School Grid. At approximately 2.10pm, the Wicor staff will walk the children back to Wicor, however, we are giving parents the option to allow their child to walk home straight from the Community School, bearing in mind it will be earlier than normal.
Please can all parents complete the form below to confirm if you DO or DO NOT give permission for your child to leave Portchester Community School at 2:10pm and walk home alone.
Year 5 Portchester Community School Taster Day – Fill in form
Please complete the form by Monday 29th June.
We are excited about this opportunity to give the children an inside look into a day at a secondary and are sure the children will find it invaluable.
Kind regards,
Year 5 Team

Dear parents and carers,
To provide the children with a local subject for their multimedia landscapes, Year 5 will be going on a local walk to High View Park on Dore Avenue. They will be sketching the view across the Solent with a focus on foreground, middle ground, background and how the land has been used. Each class will be going on separate days, 5C on Thursday 11th June and 5S on Friday 12th June. Both walks will be in the morning.
They will be back in time for lunch and so lunches can be organised as usual. They must be in school uniform (or PE kit if they are going on Friday) and wearing sensible shoes for the walk. Please check the weather in the morning. We recommend that they bring a named rain coat regardless to allow for any showers and to sit on when they are sketching. If it is due to be sunny, please ensure that they have a named hat and have applied sun cream before coming to school as per our recent communication regarding sun safety.
As this is a local walk, you have already provided permission. We are just making you aware of the trip in advance.
If the weather worsens and the trip needs to be postponed, we will let you know nearer the time.
Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards,
Miss Spriggs and Mrs Corser

Dear Parents
After half term, Year 5 will be starting a new module on Vikings.
To help them recall their Anglo Saxon learning from Year 4, it would be wonderful if they could bring their Anglo Saxon Mini Books from Year 4 back into school. If they cannot bring them in, this is not a problem. It will just be a chance to share their work and remember the unit.
If they are able to, please can the books be brought back into school during the first week after half term. They will be able to take them back home again once we have looked through them.
We look forward to seeing their lovely work!
Kind regards,
Miss Spriggs

Dear Year 5 Families
Please could children come in tomorrow in full school uniform.
Class photos will be taking place in the hall instead of outside, due to the predicted bad weather, so Year 5 PE has had to be cancelled.
Many thanks
Kind regards
