We ask that you listen to your child read at least five times a week.
Spellings will be given out each Friday and children will be tested on these the following Friday. Â Â
Times tables are an important part of the maths curriculum and therefore your child has a Times Table Rockstar account in order for them to practise these key skills both at home and at school. Login details can be found in the front of their white diaries. This is the web address: www.ttrockstars.com Â
Your child will also receive an arithmetic homework each week which forms a large part of the maths SATs papers and a reading comprehension to help them practice key reading skills – these are all due in each Friday.  Â
Reading is a high priority across the school and the expectation is that you support your child with reading for a minimum of 15 minutes per night. This provides opportunities for your child to practise the skills they are learning in school to further develop their reading fluency and comprehension.
In mathematics, we use the 5 stages of learning and follow the White Rose Maths scheme of work.Â
Each Monday your child will be tested on the spellings from the previous week and will then bring home their new spellings for that week. Children will take part in daily spelling lessons but it is vital that these spellings are learnt at home also as they will directly benefit the quality of their writing in school. Â
Our regular PE slot is a Friday afternoon. However, please ensure that your child has their kit in school with them all week. This allows for additional PE sessions to be taught whenever the need arises. Please ensure your child comes to school with the correct kit- white t-shirt, black shorts/joggers and suitable footwear. Â
Class dojo is a fantastic way for you to see what we have been up to in Year 6 and is a great way for you to contact your child’s class teacher too. Children are also able to add photographs and pieces of work to their profile. We love to see what your child is doing when out of school so feel free to add things into their portfolio for us to look at.Â
