Year 5/6 Blogpost 09.05.25

 Dear Parents/Carers,

We hope that you have had a great week. This week in English, the children have begun learnig about persuasive letter writing and will be drafting their letters next week to Mrs Wood. Year 6 have worked exceptionally hard revising with a strong focus on timing in preparation for next week's SATs. We wish all of them good luck next week and we know that they will make us all proud.

SATs breakfast 

All Year 6 are invited to join us each morning from 8. This will provide all of the children with the opportunity to relax and calm any nerves. This is free for the children. Could you please bring them to the hall, using the side door in the front car park.

Please also ensure that your child is regularly:

  • Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is the optimum and should be continuing into Year 6. Please also encourage your child to read by themselves and then discuss the text afterwards, sharing opinions, their favourite part or questioning what happened so as to ensure that your child is understanding the text as well as reading it. All children have a Reading record to take home.
  • Spelling words - please practice these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down. This week we are up to:
  • Spelling Rule 61 - Word list – years 5 and 6 - sug- to y
  • TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading diaries for login details.


We hope that you have a weekend!
