Dear Year 6 parents and carers,
What a start to the New Year and the Spring Term! We are looking forward to getting back to school and seeing you all. The newsletter outlining our learning is below and the routines of homework and PE are staying the same.
Homework
Year 6 get maths, reading and grammar homework weekly. Homework is given on Monday and is due back the following Friday where it is marked in class. Booster class is always available to children at dinnertime if they need any support to complete homework.
We follow Spelling Shed to deliver the NC and weekly spellings are given on Thursday for a spelling test the following week. Children have a logon for Spelling Shed to enable them to practise these words at home.
They also have a logon for TTRockstars in order to consolidate their multiplication tables as rapid recall of these is essential for success in maths.
Reading Books
Home reading books have been given to all children. They must be in school everyday and the children change them once a week on a given day. Please make sure reading records, now part of their diary, are signed and returned to school each week (on your child's day). It is vital to ready daily with your child and discuss their books with them in order to ensure they continue to develop their inference and understanding.
PE
Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday. Please make sure PE kits are in school and are labelled with your child's name. Even in year 6 they get misplaced! PE kit and footwear should be in school at all times. This term we will be inside for gymnastics so please make sure your child has pumps in the correct size, shorts and a white T-shirt. They will also need their trainers and joggers so we can do our second session outside weather permitting.
Indoor kit: white t-shirt, navy shorts, socks and black pumps.
Outdoor kit: a plain navy tracksuit, white t-shirt, socks and trainers.
Please also ensure your child brings a water bottle to school every day. It is cold outside still but it gets warm in the classroom. One with a sports lid is preferable to minimize the damage caused by spillages.
If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact the office or speak to us before or after school.
