PE
Year 6 PE sessions will be taught on a Thursday and a Friday. 

Please ensure that children wear their PE kit to school on these days - they should be in school PE kit.

Lessons will be outside as much as possible, so please ensure children are appropriately dressed as the weather gets colder. 

Long hair should be tied up and no jewellery should be worn for health and safety reasons.

Weekly Homework

In order to start preparing the children for secondary school, children will be provided with a weekly Arithmetic and Grammar / Punctuation task. If children need help with their homework, we are happy to assist them with it in school - before the due in date. 

Spelling

Children will receive weekly spelling words and an accompanying activity weekly.  It is important that they practice these words at home ready for a spelling test and return spelling homework which has been set.

Reading

It is extremely important that children are reading daily at at home and at school, for pleasure and for meaning. The children should also be able to discuss their book with you and answer questions about what they have read.  This should be logged in their reading record.  Please remind your children to bring their reading records and books into school every day, so that they can be checked by adults in school.

We would like to thank you for your support with your child's learning at home.

Useful Websites and Resources 

To help your child prepare for their upcoming SATs examinations in May, we recommend the following:

• Reading a range of texts (fiction, non-fiction and poetry) at home and discussing what they have read
• Regular practice of times table facts / arithmetic questions
• Asking at school for help with any concepts they have learnt and need extra help or practice with
• Practice the spelling of all of the statutory spelling words from KS1 and KS2 

In addition to this, children can access the following websites for free at home:

• Times Table Rockstars
• Spelling Shed
• Purple Mash
• BBC Bitesize
• CrickWeb for SPAG games
• IXL for Maths and English revision and activities

If you have any questions or would like any additional resources to support your child, please speak to Mr Grey on the gate or contact the School Office.  Thank you once again for your support with your child's learning.
