Dear Year 6 parents and carers,
Welcome to Summer 1. We have a very busy few weeks ahead of us with our residential to Buckden House and SAT's week.
Buckden House
Year 6 are on residential to Buckden House from Wednesday 22nd April to Friday 24th April and we are very excited about it. The children will enjoy experiences such as caving, gorge scrambling and climbing. They will challenge themselves and celebrate successes. It is great preparation for year 7 and beyond.
All the information you will need is here.
The Kit list.
Thank you for all your help in getting organised to go. Please see year 6 staff or the office should you require any further information.
SAT's
Year 6 SAT's begin the week beginning Monday 11th May and finish on the Thursday of that week. I will provide more detail on the timetable following our residential.
All children should be revising their maths, grammar and punctuation and reading at home. They will continue to get revision and spellings for homework and it is imperative this is completed and returned to school on time.
There are some useful links for revision below.
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 Grammarasus to deliver the NC and weekly spellings are given on Friday for a spelling test the following Friday.
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. As the weather in improving, we will be outside so please ensure you have 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.
