Spelling homework will be sent home on a Monday and we would ask that you encourage your child to learn their words (please practice the words in a style that suits your child). Their homework needs to be handed in on the following Monday morning and then these words will be tested that morning.

Maths homework comprises of Times Tables Rockstars – 5 mins per evening and Prodigy – an online maths platform.

SATs – As you are probably well aware, year 6 is SATs year. We will be inviting you in for an informal session regarding this in the new year.

We will be doing various reading activities every day, and therefore please make sure that the children always have their books in their reading bags in school. In addition to this, we will have a class text that all of the children will access together. These books have been carefully chosen in line with Hampshire guidance and the comprehension questions/writing tasks will be adjusted to suit your child’s reading ability.

We ask that you regularly check that all clothing (including PE kits) are named – you would be surprised at the number of unclaimed items each week. When the weather gets warmer, a hat/cap can be brought in and a coat/waterproof when it is cold or wet.  We like to get the children out at playtime everyday, even in light rain!
