What we will be learning in this term:

A few things to remember:

PE

All classes have PE on a Wednesday and Thursday

  • Remember to wear the correct PE kit to school on PE days- black leggings/ jogging bottoms or shorts.  White or house t-shirt.  Wheelock fleece/ jumper or cardigan or house hoody for outdoor activities.  
  • Spare outdoor footwear must be brought into school to ensure footwear is changed and inside school remains clean.
  • Children will have a Golden Mile session every Mon-Thurs afternoon (PE kit is not needed, but outdoor footwear should be worn).

Home Learning - Summer Term

Following feedback from parents, homework for Year 5 and Year 6 will now be paper-based. This homework will be given out on a Friday to be returned by the following Thursday.  The homework will consolidate current classwork and will consist of a comprehension text, questions based on spelling patterns being studied in class and questions based on current Maths learning. If your child cannot complete the work at home or needs some extra support with their homework, a homework club will be run each Monday by your child's class teacher. If you have any questions about Year 5 and Year 6 homework, please speak to Mr Owen before or after school.

 In addition, children are expected to read frequently throughout the week (a minimum of three times). They may also access Freckle/ TT Rockstars and complete activities on Spellshed with the logins they have.

We will continue to use Accelerated Reader to support the children's reading journey; they should complete the associated book quiz each time they complete a book at home. Accelerated Reader will be used as the children's planner. Therefore, they must read and quiz regularly.

** Time can be provided in school for online homework if required- please speak to your child's class teacher who will be happy to help.
