YEAR 6

Spring Term One

Welcome back!

We hope you enjoyed the holiday and are ready for the Spring term!

During the next few months, we will be preapring for SATS and secondary school.

In Maths, we will be learning about fractions, decimals and percentages and revising what we have learned so far.

In English, we will be writing a section of narrative with the focus on integrating dialogue, a newspaper report and a travel pamphlet. All writing will be based on our current class book: Rooftoppers.

PE is now on Mondays and Tuesdays and we will also carry on learning to play ukeleles every Thursday afternoon.

PARENT MEETING: Wednesday 28/01/2026 at 2:45pm

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 pages to do from their revision guides in both English and Maths, which will then be due on Friday. They will be given more pages on Friday for the following Monday. The revision guides are to help your child complete the homework, so please ensure they look at the relevant pages first.

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.
