Additional information
PE
This is timetables for a Tuesday. Please can children come to school wearing their PE kits. Long hair needs to be tied back and earrings either need to be taken out or ‘taped’ with micropore tape brought from home.
Homework
A vital skill for everybody now is rapid recall of times tables. This means children have to be able to respond quickly to quick-fire questions in order to apply their knowledge efficiently in Maths. Knowing their times tables in any order is the aim and to this effect children are expected to practise their times tables at home.
Reading Logs need to be brought to school every-day and children have been asked to record their reading throughout the week in their reading logs, whether they read independently or to an adult. It would be very much appreciated if the reading logs are signed by an adult.
Spelling
We will be providing children with a copy of the year 5/6 spelling word lists and hope by the end of the year they are able to spell the majority of the words on the list. It would benefit the children to practice writing their spellings and using them in sentences. They may also need to use their dictionary skills to find definitions of the words.
If you have any questions/queries or worries, please speak to us at the end of the day or make an appointment.
We look forward to a busy and exciting year.
