Year 5/6 Blogpost 06.06.25
Dear Parents/Carers,
We've had a great start to the beginning of Summer 2 and are pleased to see the children back with smiles and ready to get back into the swing of things. This is a jam-packed half-term, so please keep your eyes open for news being shared on Dojo, newsletters and here on the blog.
Swimming Next Week
**Please note****
Due to District sports taking place on Thursday, we are swapping our swimming day to Wednesday INSTEAD of Thursday. Please make sure that the children bring their kits in with them, and any items of clothing are labelled to avoid losing/ misplacing the uniform.

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 38 - Word list – spelling ending in cial and tial
- TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading diaries for login details.
