Homework for this week consists of:
- Spellings (either from Class Dojo or on Spelling Shed)
- Reading - 5 times a week!
- Topic work - At least three should be completed this term. The list of ideas can be found here.
Spelling homework can now be completed on Spelling Shed:
*If your child cannot access spelling shed, the spellings will be put onto Class Dojo and can be practiced on paper.
For times tables practice, your child will need to log on to times tables rockstars:
For each of these, your child should have their usernames and passwords, but they can ask their teacher if they have forgotten. The spellings and times tables are set to suit your child's ability and they will be tested weekly in school.
Children are expected to complete all of the homework set, if there is a problem with completing homework, please speak to your class teacher before the Friday morning it is due in who will be happy to help.
Here you can find out useful information about what your child is doing throughout the year and when they need certain things (such as PE kit):
Children are expected to read five times a week and record this in their reading records. Reading records are due in to check the progress of reading every week on a Friday. If there are any problems with reading at home, please speak to your child's teacher who will be happy to help.
Year 6 complete PE on Tuesday and Friday afternoon every week. PE kit will need to be worn to school on a Tuesday in order to participate. Please ensure that children have clothes suitable for outdoor and indoor conditions. We ask that children please also be provided with a roll-on deodorant to use after the session.
Every Thursday, children are given the opportunity to take out books from the library that interest them. They are checked out using a computer system and library monitors are available to help children where needed. If your child has a book, please remind them to bring this into school on a Thursday so this can be changed if necessary. Please note - any loss or damage to books will incur a cost to the child to replace them.
All class assemblies are held on a Wednesday at 2:30pm.
