WELCOME TO TOPAZ CLASS!

Welcome to term 5! 

As you can imagine, its going to be a busy term as we prepare for the SATS in a few weeks. I am always keeping a careful eye on what needs to be revisited and practised,  and I will continue to keep sending any practice papers home so you can see what you can support your child with.

The most useful thing that you can do is make sure they are still practising their times tables , learning spellings , completing homework and reading aloud every day (especially to discuss what words or phrases mean if they don't already know).

The class are already working amazingly hard and I know will make you (and me!) so proud!

As always, I am at the classroom door at the end of each day and you are always welcome to speak to me about anything you need to.    Please click on the Topic Web below to find out what we are learning this term and of course, keep your eye on ClassDojo for the latest news and updates about what year 6 have been up to!

PS - Here are a few reminders about school and home learning in year 6 that you might find helpful....

PE

 Year 6 have have PE in school on Tuesdays (swimming) and Fridays. They should turn up wearing the correct PE kit : plain  white T-shirt and black or navy joggers, shorts or leggings. No jeans or patterned T shirts or leggings please.

READING

Reading to an adult or older sibling is still really important in year 6, especially the discussions around what they have read. Children need to read aloud to an adult daily and the adult should sign their reading record to show this.

TIMES TABLES

Children should know all their multiplication facts up to 12 x 12 by year 6 but daily practice is important so they don't forget them.  Knowing these table facts off by heart makes a big difference to how quickly children can progress in the rest of their maths.

All pupils have logins for Times Table Rockstars but please let me know if they have forgotten them . Please play regularly! Your teacher can log in and see your high scores and we will be celebrating those who show amazing effort and progress!
