PE Days

This year we will have PE each Wednesday morning. Please ensure your child comes to school in appropriate PE clothing each and every Wednesday. Remember children will wear these clothes during break time and dinner time so must be appropriate for the weather.

Homework

Reading-your child is expected to read at home at least 3 times each week along with an adult signing their reading record. As your children are getting a little older, we will allow them to sign it themselves for an independent read too – records will be checked every Monday for the week prior. Children will also be expected to take their reading records with them to each lesson.

Maths- your child will need to know all of their times tables up to 12x12 and other related facts for their end of Key Stage assessments. To help with this they are encouraged to play times tables games each and every day at home using the following games/platforms.

Please also feel free to ask staff for any other practice materials in regards to their SATs.

Spelling- Children will have a focus 5 spellings but will not be tested on these. They will need to evidence them in their writing on a day-day basis. They will, however, be tested once a term on the common exception words for Year 5 and 6.

Humanities/Science- Children will be given a project planner each half term that ties into the topic unit they are covering at that time. A paper copy will be sent home but you will also be able to find it on the tab on the left hand side of this page.

Please take a look at our curriculum map (located in the letters tab on the left of this page) and the curriculum morning powerpoint (attached below) to find out what else we will be learning in all areas of the curriculum.
