PE
PE kits should be in school at all times. Children will take them home at half term to be washed and ready for the next half term. The kit should include: a white t-shirt, royal blue shorts and black PE pumps. Plain black or navy jogging bottoms can be worn in the winter.
PE kits can be purchased online by following this link: https://ais.ace-online.co.uk/catalogue
Please make sure that your child takes off any jewellery and has their hair tied up before coming into school. If your child is unable to participate in PE, please send them in with a note.
This term will be Athletics and Cricket.
PE lessons take place on:
6F - Friday AM
6W - Thursday PM
6C- Friday PM (Miss Hinton)
Reading records
Reading books and reading records need to be in everyday.
During the week, your child's class teacher will sign their record and check on the frequency of reading outside of school.
Your child is allowed to write in their record; all we ask is that an adult signs their record at least once a week.
It is your child's responsibility to change their reading book in the library when our school librarians are in.
Please encourage your child to read a variety of genres as this will help broaden their vocabulary and inspire reading for pleasure.
Spellings
Children will be tested on their spellings every Monday morning.
At the start of every half term, a spelling list will be sent home with your child. Please ensure that your child learns their spellings and are tested on them at home where possible. We have included the definitions for each word to help our children understand the word and be able to use them in context within their own writing.
Remember to log in to the spelling frame website so you can practice your weekly spellings. There's plenty of fun ways to learn your spellings on this website. If you need a reminder of your login details, just ask your teacher.
If your child misplaces their spellings, you can download another copy from below or speak to your class teacher who will give you another hard copy.
Homework
(All logins are glued into your child’s reading record. If you need another copy of your login credentials, just let your teacher know.)
Maths: We will be encouraging children to use Times Table Rock Stars, where battles will be set on a Friday through to the following Friday.
English/Maths/Topic: A task will be alternated and set each week, using either Purple Mash or Education City (your teacher will let you know which website to use for that specific week). Check the 2dos or homework sections to find out what you need to do. Each piece of homework will be set on a Friday and due in the following Friday.
Some additional homework may be asked for throughout the term, which will support in class work.
Reading: Please encourage your child to read daily and listen to them at least once a week and sign their reading record.
