Year 6 Key Information
Spellings:
PE Days: Monday and Friday. Please come to school dressed in your PE kit on your PE days. This includes a plain white t-shirt, plain black or grey leggings/trousers/shorts/sweatshirt and suitable trainers.
Reading Books: Children will have a book banded reading book and a reading for pleasure book. These can be changed on a Monday and a Friday. Book banded books will be changed if reading records have been signed. In Year 6 the children’s books are often longer with more chapters, therefore children may not need to change their reading for pleasure books every week.
Library books: Children have the opportunity to access books from the library when they are choosing reading for pleasure books.
Homework: Homework is sent out on a Friday and is due the next Friday to be marked. Spellings are sent out on a Monday and the children are tested the following Monday. We also expect children to be regularly completing TTRS and reading for pleasure at home.
Homework Expectations
This is just a reminder of the expectations for KS2 homework. Every day, all children should complete five minutes of spelling practise, reading and times table practise.
At our school we are passionate about reading and it is massively beneficial to children. It supports their development in all areas of the curriculum, their mental wellbeing and broadens their imagination.
