Home-school books, reading books and reading records should be brought into school every day. It is also encouraged that your child brings their own bottle of water each day as well as a waterproof coat due to the changing weather.
We recommend that all children bring a water bottle in to school daily. This must contain fresh water only. For hygiene reasons, they must be taken home, washed and refilled daily. They must be clearly labelled. Children can refill them during the school day too. Anything other than water will not be allowed to be consumed by your child during the school day unless you can provide written medical evidence from your GP explaining why this cannot be so. On receiving this you will then need to fill in a Medical Health Care plan. See section 4. • If your child has a packed lunch a second drink should be included. However, no fizzy drinks are allowed to be brought into school. Children having school lunches will be provided with water.
Year 6 will have PE on a Monday and a Thursday. Pupils are asked to come to school in PE kit with no logos. Please remember to remove any jewellery.
Each week, children will have spellings, timestables and key instant recall maths facts (KIRFs) which they must learn off by heart. These will be set on a Friday and assessed the following Friday.
Multiplication tables is an on-going part of homework and will have a different focus each week. This is extremely important to Year 6 as knowing times tables facts will help with many aspects of maths and SATs preparation. ALL children are expected to access TT Rockstars at least once a week.
