Daily – Children need to bring a named water bottle into school every day. Children are able to access outside learning regularly so it is important that they always come to school with a hooded coat. During the summer children should also have a named sunhat.
PE – Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure PE kits are clearly named.
In Year 6, children will be expected to record homework and other information in their planners. Planners will be checked and signed on a Monday. Parents are expected to sign planners each weekend to show they have seen any information.
Reading: Please encourage your child to read a variety of texts. It is important that children are reading regularly to develop fluency as children are expected to read increasingly longer texts with greater speed. We expect Year 6 children to be reading at home every day, sometimes independently and sometime with an adult. Vocabulary is important so exploring the meaning of unfamiliar words is beneficial.
Spelling: Spelling is a high priority for Year 6 and will taught and practiced in class on a regular basis. Children will also receive regular spelling homework linked to our learning in class.
Please follow this link to access parent information about end of year non-negotiables for English and Mathematics. Any support that you can give to your child to achieve these targets will be extremely valuable.
