YEAR 6
Autumn Term One
Welcome back!
We hope you enjoyed the holiday and are ready for the start of a new academic year.
During the next few weeks, we will be busy learning the routines in year six and getting used to our new curriculm.
In Maths, we will be learning about calculating using knowledge of structures, multiples of 1000 and numbers up to 10,000,000.
In English, we will be writing logs from different perspectives, based on our class book 'Kensuke's Kingdom.'
In Science, we will be learning about classification of living things.
PE is now on Mondays and Tuesdays and we will also carry on learning to play ukeleles every Thursday afternoon.
PARENT MEETING: Details to follow. Please join us to find out about important upcoming dates and what your children will be learning this term.
Here are things to remember throughout the year:
The school day begins at 8:40am and the bell for registration goes at 8:50am. Morning work is a great way for children to consolidate their learning and have time with their teacher for extra help, so getting to school on time is crucial. It is also really important that children don't miss new concepts introduced at the beginning of the day.
Routines
Homework is sent out twice a week. On Tuesdays, children will be given an English homework, which will then be due a week later on the following Tuesday. On Thursday, a maths and homework will be sent out which will be due in the following Thursday. The teacher will note down if homework is late or missing.
Spellings will be given out on a Monday and the children will be tested the following week. It is vital that your child not only knows how to spell the words, but also what they mean. Times tables will be tested on Fridays. In order to ensure homework or other vital information is not lost or damaged, your child will need to bring a bag to school every day. Children will also be expected to bring a labelled water bottle to school and wear their uniform daily.
P.E. days are on Mondays and Tuesdays. This half term will be hockey and athletics. Children need to bring their PE kit. It should include a T-shirt, tracksuit bottoms, shorts or leggings and a pair of white-soled trainers or plimsolls. Please note that ONLY white-soled shoes or plimsolls will be permitted. This is because any other footwear leaves marks on the floor which are very difficult to remove. Any children who do not bring appropriate footwear will be required to remove their socks and shoes, which may inhibit their ability to learn certain skills. Before lessons, all jewellery must be removed, long hair tied back and head scarves must be tucked into clothing, in accordance with health and safety rules.
If you need any more information, please speak to Ms. Lennox-Douglas (Monday - Wednesday) or Mrs. Jordan (Wednesday - Friday).
For a full timetable, please look in the files below.
Your child needs to bring their own water bottles, a healthy snack for break time and a bag to carry homework, reading books and letters at the end of the day.
