Our P.E. lessons are on Mondays and Thursdays. Children need to come to school dressed in their P.E. kits, therefore they do not need to keep a P.E. kit in school. As a reminder, this is grey tracksuit bottoms (with their red shorts underneath if they wish), white P.E. t-shirt, grey jumper or school jumper with their trainers. Please avoid sending your child to school wearing earrings on P.E. days. 

In Year 6, children will receive age appropriate Maths, English and EGPS (English Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling) homework tasks which will be set weekly. These homework tasks will be based on what your child has practised in class during the week and are designed simply to reinforce and consolidate what they have learnt. To promote progress in Spelling, we will also be sending home 10 weekly spellings for the children to learn every Monday.

In addition to these weekly homework tasks, the children are expected to complete a minimum of four signed reads per week in their reading diary.

In addition to these weekly homework tasks, the children are expected to complete a minimum of four signed reads per week in their reading diary and to practise their times tables up to 12 x 12. 

Reading books and diaries should be in school every day.  They will be checked each Monday.

The School uses a wide variety of reading schemes that directly link with the National Bookband Scheme.

We expect to see four signed reads per week.

You do not have to listen to your child read and we do not specify what they are reading – just that they are reading regularly.  If your child is having a difficulty with choosing books then please ask them to come and speak to one of the Year 6 team.  We do not have a set day to renew or change reading books but we will give the children an opportunity to do this at several times during the week.
