Class Information
Attendance and Punctuality
It is important that your child has good attendance as the government sets a requirement of 98% attendance throughout the school year. It is also important that your child arrives on time as this minimises disruption to their learning. Please make sure that your child arrives to school on time. If your child is going to be absent, please ring school to let us know.
Uniform
Please ensure your child has the correct uniform and has their name in everything including their coat and P.E Kit. Their school uniform is a reflection of the class, especially when we are out of school or when we have visitors into the classroom.
PE
Year 6 will have P.E on Wednesdays and Fridays. Children can come into school wearing their P.E kits on these days. P.E kit consists of: a white t-shirt, black or navy shorts, and black pumps.
Reading Books
Reading books are changed every Monday. Please encourage your child to read for a short period each night, encouraging them to sound out unfamiliar words and read with fluency and expression. Children also have access to the online reading programme 'Reading Eggs'. Please make a comment in your child’s reading record and return this with the reading book. Please note, there is a £3 charge for any lost or damaged reading books.
Homework
Children will receive spelling homework on Mondays and will have chance to practise them for their weekly spelling test every Friday. We use SATs companion to set homework tasks.We also have a homework menu with a variety of tasks which your child can complete. Your child can also practise their times tables using 'Times Tables Rock Stars'.
Water
