Dear Parents/Carers

We've had a busy week in Year 6.  Children have completed assessment tasks in reading, maths, grammar, punctuation and spelling.  They tried really hard and should be extremely proud of themselves.  

Google Classroom

Please ask your child to join the new Year 6 Google Classroom.  All they need to do is log onto their google account, go to Classroom and accept the invitation.  

Starting from next Friday, we will be uploading homework activities for the children to complete.  We do have homework books ready for them but are unable to send them home at the present time.  Therefore, online homework will be set each week.  This should be completed using Google Docs.  Please do not print anything off and send it in as, due to Covid-19, we are unable to accept paper documents.

The Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 spelling lists and some times tables challenges have already been uploaded for children to use at home.  Please support your child with learning spellings and tables and remind them to read regularly.  MyOn should also be used by the children as they can quiz on what they read.  We are then able to monitor this from school.

PE

Unlucky for us in Year 6, PE resumed just as the weather changed.  Please make sure that your child wears suitable PE kit on Wednesdays and brings a PE sweatshirt with them just in case!  We will only have classroom based PE lessons if the weather is exceptionally wet, so intend to teach the children outside as much as possible, not allowing a bit of wind and rain to beat us! 

It is also advisable for children to start bringing coats into school as the weather is changeable at the moment.  There were a number of children without coats this week which made break and lunch very chilly for them.  

Have a lovely weekend.

Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
