Year 6

Welcome to Year 6. We hope this page is helpful in setting out a few events, dates and costings you can expect whilst your child is in Year 6.  Hopefully having notice of these dates, will ensure you are able to clear your diary and book time off work if needed, as it would be lovely if all of our parents and carers could attend all of these events.

Over the summer we have enjoyed planning all the curriculum and enrichment activities that your children will enjoy over the coming year. Topics we will cover in Year 6 are:

 

 

PE

Our PE days are:  Sycamore- Monday and Friday

                                Pine- Wednesday and Friday

                                Oak- Monday and Wednesday

Please ensure your child has the correct PE kit in school on these days.

Indoor PE kit: yellow t-shirt, blue shorts

Outdoor PE kit: yellow t-shirt, blue shorts, tracksuit bottoms, tracksuit top and trainers

 

For PE we expect that the children remove any ear studs and watches.

Uniform

It has been lovely to see the children come back looking so smart in their school uniform. Please continue to support us in ensuring your child is coming into school with the correct uniform, shoes and equipment. It is also very helpful if all items of uniform are named, so if pieces of clothing are left out/lost they can be reunited with their owner as quickly as possible. As a quick reminder: winter uniform begins in the second half of autumn term.

Homework

The children will receive maths, English, topic/science, general knowledge and spelling homework every week. The following table will explain when each piece of homework will be set and when it is required to be handed in by:

The children are expected to read every day and have their contact book signed by an adult.

 

 

To enhance learning children will be invited to join trips to:

Letters giving further details of the trip will be sent nearer to the time of the trip.

 

Individual photographs will take place during the autumn term and class photographs will be taken on 6^th and 7^th   November 2019.

Open Evening dates:

Autumn – Thursday 17^th October 2019

Spring – Wednesday 25^th March 2020

Please remember we value parent helpers in school and on school trips, but you need to have a DBS check completed. Please see the school office if you would like to complete a DBS check.

Some minor changes to these dates may occur, although we will try and maintain this timetable where possible.

If you have any questions or queries or would like to meet with us to talk about an issue regarding your child, please do come and see us at the end of the school day or make an appointment through the office.
