- P.E. is on Monday and Wednesday, so you need to come in your  P.E. kit.  Monday is indoor PE so you will need pumps for this lesson - you can wear trainers to school and change into your pumps for the lesson.  Wednesday is outdoor so please ensure you have a warm top/ trousers.

- Bags - Should you need to bring a bag to school each day, please ensure that this bag is either a book bag or a small bag which will easily fit inside your locker.

- Water bottles - Please bring a reusable water bottle to school (not glass).  These will be stored at the back of the classroom for you to access when required.

- Reading books will be issued in the first full week back.  Please remember to look after these and keep your diary up to date.  You will be awarded Dojos for evidence of home reading.

SNACK - You can bring a snack for morning break. 

This snack MUST ONLY BE FRUIT OR VEGETABLES.  Anything else is not permitted and will not be able to be eaten.  This is for the safety of other children who may have allergies.  

Year 6

Homework schedule 

It is really important that your homework books are always brought in on the correct days.

It is important that you are organised and know your logins for MyMaths.

Reading

There is an expectation that you will read every day for at least 20 minutes.  It is always nice to share reading with someone when you can.  If you need some ideas for new books to enjoy, please have a look at the suggested reading list for year 6 on our class page.  Your reading diaries will be collected in every Tuesday so please have your diaries signed so we can see evidence of home reading - Dojos will be awarded!! 

Don't forget to extend your learning by answering the questions in the cover of your reading books.

Times tables

Please continue to practise your times tables regularly and use Times Table Rock Stars and Monster Multiplication (on Purple Mash) as often as you can.

Independent learning

You may wish to do your own independent research or activities based on some of our topics in science, history or geography.   You may complete some art or computing work that you would love to show us.  You might even wish to share an achievement or an award you have received. Feel free to bring any work in to school to share with us and we can add it to our class floorbook.
