   Routines

     Reading

     Even in Year 6, reading out loud is vital, if children are to be able to fluently read challenging texts. We are encouraging

     children to read at home as much as possible but certainly for a minimum of thirty minutes a day (at least fifteen minutes

     of which should be aloud to an adult), whether they are reading their own books or those chosen from school.

      Spellings

      Each week in school, via the Active Spelling programme, children will learn new spelling patterns, homophones and a                       selection of words from the statutory Year 5 and 6 list, through a range of strategies, to become confident, skilful spellers. 

     Homework

      During the Summer term, homework is kept to a minimum given the higher expectation during the Spring term.

     Homework tends to be on an ad hoc basis and topic based. The daily expectation for reading (as detailed above) continues.

      P.E.

       On Wednesday, we have our cardio session on the activity gym equipment.

       On Thursday, we have J.B. Sport coaches come to teach our P.E lessons; we come to school in our school P.E kit.

       Our P.E kit should be:

• plain white t-shirt
• black/navy shorts.
• trainers or plimsolls can be worn for PE lessons.
• black/navy tracksuit bottoms for colder weather/outdoor PE.
• black/navy tracksuit top for colder weather/outdoor PE.
• no football/sports shirt.

 

 

                          We believe that it is in the best interest of the children to create strong links between home and school.

                              As such, please do not hesitate to contact one of our team if you have any questions or concerns.
