Welcome to year 6
Homework
Children will be expected to practise their times tables and spellings each week as well as reading at least 3 times on Reading Plus.
In addition to this, as the SATs approach, year 6 children may receive additional homework to help them prepare but this will be after Christmas.
Reading
Please ensure your child reads regularly (at least 3 times a week). That may be a school book, a book from home, activities on reading plus or any other forms or reading they enjoy. Please record reading activities on GoRead using your personal log-ins.
Times tables
Please use TT Rockstars to practise times tables. By year 6 all children should know all times tables fluently. Children will complete a times tables test each Friday.
Spellings
10 spellings will be sent home on Mondays every weeks linked to the y5-6 spelling list. Please practise these with your child.
PE
PE lesson will be on Wednesdays.
Children may come to school and stay in their PE kit on those days. PE kit is a plain white T-shirt and black/navy shorts. In colder weather children may wear plain dark tracksuit bottoms and top.
Children will also need to take off any jewellery including earrings so please ensure they are able to do this independently or, if they are not able to, remove them at home.
