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. Your child just needs to ask.
We follow Spelling Shed to deliver the NC and weekly spellings are given on Friday for a spelling test the following Friday. Children have a logon for Spelling Shed to enable them to practise these words at home and they are set homework there too.
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, 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. It is a good idea to check pumps still fit as we will be inside for gymnastics.
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 getting warmer outside and it is warm in the classroom. One with a sports lid is preferable to minimize the damage caused by spillages.
