Ambassadors - Prefects - Buddies - Role Models
Dear Year 6 parents and carers,
Welcome to back to school and to our first term together in year 6. The children have settled in well are on their way to being excellent ambassadors. Here are a few notes to get the school year off to a great start.
Homework
Year 6 get maths, reading and grammar homework weekly. Homework is given on Monday and is due back on Friday, where it is marked in class. Booster class is always available to children at dinnertime if they need any support to complete homework. Your child just needs to ask.
Weekly spellings are given on Friday for a spelling test the following Friday. These follow the National Curriculum.
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. it is vital your children are confident in their rapid recall of all multiplication tables up to 12 x 12.
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 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. While the weather is still mild, we will be outside so please ensure your child has a complete outdoor kit.
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. One with a sports lid is preferable to minimize the damage caused by spillages.
