Homework!

This year we will be trialling handing out homework on a Monday. This will then be expected back on a Thursday (at the latest Friday). We have decided on these days to allow your children some relaxation time at the weekend.

Homework will consist of:

Either a Maths, English, Topic or science task.

Reading 3 times to an adult (over 7 days)

Time tables rock stars (3 times between Monday and Friday)

Spellings to be tested on Friday.

Netball Club

For all the children who expressed an interest in netball club thank you.

Netball club will start next Tuesday, 10th September, after school. It will be on the small yard and children need to be in outdoor P.E kit. I recommend that children have a water bottle and perhaps an extra healthy snack.

The club will finish at 4.30pm and parents can collect from the main yard. I will escort the children to you. If you feel you want to watch your children during the club you are more than welcome but you may need to wrap up.

I will need to select a team within the next few weeks so it is very important that children regularly attend.

Thank you for your continued support.

Miss Sherry

Spellings due Wednesday 11th September

Due to the changes in the Literacy curriculum children in Year 6 are expected to be secure with all KS2 spellings. There will be no choice of spellings, in terms of degree of difficulty. This term we will focus on revisiting Year 3/4 spelling words. All children, of all abilities, need to learn the following for next week:
accident answer
address believe
actually bicycle
appear breath
arrive breathe

Y6 homework due Wednesday 11th September

Read at least 3 times and ask an adult to sign your reading diary to confirm.

Learn your spellings. Complete detailed sentences and definitions in your homework book.
