Other Useful Information

PE currently takes place on Mondays and Thursdays. Children need PE kit which is suitable for both indoor and outdoor PE in all weathers. PE kits should be in school every day in case of a timetable variation. All items must be clearly named. 

Outdoor Learning:

Our outdoor learning day is every other Friday.  Children should arrive in school in school uniform as usual but with outdoor learning clothes in a bag. This includes bringing long sleeved tops and full-length trousers. They will need to bring a change of clothing including socks, underwear and trainers, to ensure they remain warm during the colder Winter months! Don't forget a hat and sun screen in the hot summer months. Children will change when necessary, depending on the nature of the activity. Not all outdoor activities require a change of clothes.

Water Bottles:

The children should have a clearly named water bottle in the classroom. This should be a different bottle from their lunch drink and should be WATER only. The bottles should be taken home daily.

Reading:

In Year 6 we continue with Accelerated Reader, our reading programme, and continue to embed our understanding of how to answer comprehension questions based on a text extract.  Please promote a love of reading and read regularly at home. Reading should be recorded in your child's reading journals.

Spellings:

Our programme for teaching spellings is, ‘No Nonsense Spelling’.  A progressive scheme with a programme for each year group.  Spelling practise at home is a part of all children’s homework and we ask that parents record a comment in the diary each week to let us know that your child has practised. You will also find spelling practise strategies stapled into their diaries for ideas on how to implement this.

Homework

Homework will be sent home on Friday and is due in on a Wednesday.

Class Name Information

Stephen Wiltshire 

Stephen is an architectural artist - he draws and paints detailed cityscapes. He has a particular talent for drawing lifelike, accurate representations of cities, sometimes after having only observed them briefly. As a child he was mute, and did not relate to other people. Aged three, he was diagnosed as autistic. He had no language and lived entirely in his own world.

Rosa Parks

Rosa was an American civil rights activist whose refusal to give up her seat on a public bus  precipitated the 1955–56 Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama, which became the spark that ignited the civil rights movement in the United States.
