Love Learning, Love Life

Always Aiming High

Welcome back to our second term in Year Six. I hope everyone has had a great Christmas holiday and has fully recharged their batteries ready for a busy term. This term will see me teaching all mornings in year six; doing guided reading, English, spelling, handwriting and maths.

PE

We will continue to have Danielle (our sports coach) in school teaching Year 6 for one hour a week. This session will cover a broad range of physical skills and sports which is a fantastic opportunity. This coaching session will take place on a Tuesday afternoon and I will teach our other hour of P.E on a Monday afternoon. You must have your P.E kit on a Monday and Tuesday.

Homework, Spellings and Reading

Like last term, Learning Log and maths homework will be given out on a Friday and will be due in on the following Wednesday. Reading books need to be changed frequently and don’t forget to bring your Reading Journal and book in everyday so that we can keep track of the books you are reading. Like last term, reading records will be checked on a Tuesday and Friday. Spellings for the entire term will be glued into Learning Logs at the beginning of each term. I expect you to learn your spellings week by week throughout the term.

Other Adults in the class

This term, we will be lucky enough to have the continuing support of Mrs Baldwin – she will be with us for one hour every morning supporting with English or Maths. Mrs Baldwin will continue to teach R.E for one hour on a Tuesday and will then support Danielle in her sports coaching for the other hour.

As we approach the SATS, any time that you can give to practising maths and grammar skills would be very beneficial.
