Autumn Term 1
Welcome to a brand new school year!
We will be working hard to prepare for SATs in May and for Secondary School next September so it is very important that children are dedicated to working hard every day. I recommend at least 15 minutes of Mathletics, 30 minutes of Reading Eggs, 15 minutes of spelling and 30 minutes of reading daily. If your child is struggling with any of these areas, please support your child to spend more time on these. This is in addition to the homework that is posted each Friday on Google Classroom. Homework needs to be submitted by the following Wednesday. Please ensure your child has support, a space and time to complete homework. If there are any questions about the homework, children can come to see one of the Year 6 team each Monday lunchtime and we will go over this with them.
PE days are Tuesday (pm) and Wednesday (am). Children need to bring a PE kit with them on both these days to get changed during school time. PE kits consist of a white t-shirt, black bottoms and black trainers. It is very important that children are getting changed fully for PE to promote good personal hygiene. School uniform is a red school jumper or fleece with a white or red shirt underneath. Bottoms should be grey trousers or skirts, not tracksuit bottoms or leggings. All shoes should be black.
Reading records need to be completed DAILY with a comment from the child. It is not expected that parents complete the reading records as this is something the children can now take responsibility for.
Our topic this term is Northern Ireland. We will occasionally send home research projects for the children to work on. This is a great opportunity to work and learn together!
School begins with a 'Soft Start' Tuesday - Friday at 8:45am. This is a time for children to respond to marking feedback or address any difficulties they may be experiencing with their work. The Year 6 Team will always be in the classroom at these times for support and guidance.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss any aspects of your child's learning or welfare, please make an appointment to see one of us. Thank you,
The Year 6 Team
