YEAR 6

Summer Term Two

Well done everybody - we are now nearly at the summer holidays.

During the next few weeks, we have lots of exciting events planned, with the focus on getting ready for secondary school.

The pupils will all be having transition days; the dates will vary depending on the school they will be attending - ask your teacher if you haven't received information.

On Thursday June 25th, Y6 will be experiencing a taster session at Tapton in the morning. We will be catching the 51 bus there and back. If any parents would like to help, please talk to Ms. Lennox-Douglas.

On Tuesday, June 30th, we will be going on our Heritage Walks around Sheffield City Centre. We would appreciate parent helpers if anyone would like to join us.

Please come to cheer for us at Sports Day on July 6th, and if you haven't already signed the consent for bikeability, please do so! It will be a great opportunity for children to practise navigating the roads safely and hopefully a lot of fun too!

PE is now on Mondays and Tuesdays and we will be learning french on Thursday afternoons.

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:

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 rounders, cricket and badminton. 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 in the sports hall. 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.
