Reminders

Reading books - To follow our Covid 19 procedures books are now returned to school each Friday and new books are sent home the following Monday; this gives us time to quarantine them over the weekend. To help your child with their learning your child should be reading at home at least 3 times per week and their reading record signed by an adult, these are checked regularly in school. Year 6 also have access to Read Theory online comprehension which they can access in addition to their reading books.

Our Key Stage 2 children also take part in Reading Bingo. They receive a number for their bingo card each time they read; 30 reads will complete their card and they receive a Reading Bingo prize.

P.E lessons - We have P.E. on Mondays.  Please ensure that your child comes to school dressed in their PE kit on PE day. Our PE kit is plain black shorts and white t-shirt. Children can wear a tracksuit over these throughout the day. Trainers or black pumps are acceptable.

Water -  Make sure to bring your water bottle into school every day. Please write your child's name on their water bottles.

Read Theory and other support

 

Year 6 all have access to the online Reading Programme called Read Theory. The children occasional use this in school but it is mainly for use at home. Read Theory is a personalised programme which is designed to help pupils improve their reading skills independently at their own pace, with staff supporting children in any areas of difficulty. The children are already making good progress, which shows the effectiveness of the programme.

 

Children also have access to TT Rockstars to practice Times Tables and build their fluency to help them in Maths. I have challenged them to get our school to the top of the leaderboard!

 

You can find links to these programmes on our Useful Links page - just click Learning and Support to see a range of supportive programmes and websites. 

 

SATS

 

As we are preparing for SATs we will be adding links over the coming months to help with revision. Check back from time to time to see the resources available here.
