Kingfishers

Key information:

• This term the children will be taught in learning groups for English and Maths for the first 3 weeks of the term.  These will take place during the morning Mon-Weds.  Where there is a Bank Holiday, additional learning group work will take place in class on Thursday morning.     
• PE will be on Monday afternoon (athletics) and Thursday afternoon (netball) when children can come into school in their PE kit.  Please can children wear a plain white t-shirt and navy/black shorts (no football strips please).  Although it is getting warmer, children may want to bring in additional clothing if it is colder.
• Homework for this term will consist of English and Maths tasks.  Children should also be reading at least 3 times per week.  They will have a times table target and it will  be tested on a Friday.
• Children will have weekly spellings which will be tested on a Monday with the next week’s spellings taught directly after.  Children’s spellings for this term can be found on the link below.
• SATs booster groups will take place on Tuesday 22/4 (maths), Tues 29/4 (SPAG) and Tues 6/5 (Reading).  We have invited specific pupils to these groups, but all year 6 children are welcome provided parents have completed the on-line form sent out.
• Please note, we have attached some helpful parent resources for SPAG and maths on the links below.  We find that by looking at a few questions a day, it helps the children’s confidence moving towards SATs week.
• The amazing kitchen staff will be providing SATs breakfast for all year 6 children from Monday 12/5 – Thursday 15/5!  Details regarding the breakfast will be sent out early term 5.
• The year 6 Thorpe Park trip will be taking place on Monday 19th May.  Details regarding the trip will be sent out in due course.
