Class 6 2019 - 2020

Welcome to Class 6!

A Message from Mr Wilson
My name is Mr Wilson and I am very excited to be teaching Class 6 this year. Welcome back-I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. 

Can we please remind you to ensure that all items of clothing are labelled with your child’s name, as well as lunch boxes and PE kits.Please can all children bring a bag to school every day to ensure all letters and spellings go home at the right time. Thank you!

In Class 6 we are reading:

Our story time book: Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

Our English hook: Baba Yaga by Alison Lurie

PE
PE is on Wednesday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor-Sports Coach)

Homework
This half term the children will have a Romans homework grid. Please see your child's homework book for tasks and instructions. Any problems, please feel free to ask me.  

Spellings will continue as normal after the holidays. Please can all children access their Times Table Rock Stars account as often as possible. The Year 4 children will have an end of year multiplication test.

Your child will read with an adult in school once a week. Please remind your child to bring their reading book into school every day. After sharing reading books at home, please sign reading records regularly. When children have read their book and had their reading record signed at home, they can change their book at school. Please can children read more of their books at home. The texts are getting quite long for some children and we can only hear them read a couple of pages at a time. This is leading to children having their books for too long. Thank you for your continued support with homework and reading. Reading is vital and has a massive impact on your child's progress. 

For more detailed information on what we will be doing this half term please take a look at our class newsletter.
