For an overview of our topics for the year, click the link to view the long-term plan below. Please note this may change slightly to suit the needs of the children.
Homework & Spellings
Maths and English homework will be sent home each Thursday to be returned the following Thursday.
Staff will go through the answers with the class. There will be a raffle ticket rewarded for each completed piece of homework.
A paper spelling list will also be sent home each Thursday to be tested the following Thursday.
Reading
Please encourage your child to read daily.
For avice on helping your child to read at home, click here.
Confident readers will be given a novel to read at home and a diary to fill in. Please encourage them to read some every day. They can return the book to school when it is finished.
Some children need a little extra support to become fluent readers. They will have a book linked to their reading stage to take home and read with their parent.
These children will also read regularly to an adult in school. They will have separate books for home and school so there will not be a set day for changing reading books. Please just send the book back once it is finished.
P.E.
Y6 children need to come to school each Thursday in their PE kit. They can wear a tracksuit top and/or bottoms if it is cold.
PLEASE NOTE PE DAY WILL CHANGE EVERY HALF TERM
