Homework Expectations

In Year 6, children are expected to read every night at home in order to develop their fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. All children have a homework diary in which they should record which page of their book they are up to. In addition to this, children receive a page of Maths homework per week. This goes home on a Thursday and must be back in school the following Wednesday. Each Friday, children receive a list of spellings, based on our spelling rule for the week, which they are expected to learn at home. They are tested on these words in class the following Friday.

 

P.E.

We have P.E. every Thursday and Friday afternoon, so please ensure that your child comes in their kit on these days. Kit should include school P.E. t-shirt, school jumper, tracksuit bottoms or shorts and trainers.

 

Forest School

This year, Year 6 will be doing Forest School every Wednesday afternoon in Autumn term 1, Spring term 1 and Summer term 1. During these terms, they should come to school in their Forest School clothes every Wednesday. Forest School clothes include: normal school t-shirt and jumper, tracksuit bottoms or leggings and old trainers. They can bring wellies in a carrier bag if they have them, though this is not essential.
