YEAR 6

Autumn Term Two

Welcome back.

We hope you enjoyed the half term holiday.

Parents' evenings will take place on the second week of term, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (November 12th, 13th and 14th).  Please sign up to speak with us about your child's progress.

We are looking forward to lots of exciting trips throughout the year and often welcome parent volunteers.  If you are interested in joining us in the future, please let us know!  This half term, we are taking part in an athletics competition taking place at the E.I.S. on Wednesday, November 20th.  Children need to come in their P.E. kit and parents need to sign the consent form and pay for tram fare beforehand. Thnak you.

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 home on Tuesdays (reading comprehension) and Thursdays (maths) and will be checked the following week.  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 Wednesdays.  This half term we will be developing our hockey and athletics skills.  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.
