Year 6 Class Information

Year 6 Homework

Homework will be given each week. Please check that your child completes this and returns it to school on time. Please go through your child’s homework with them if at all possible, as this shows the child that their parents know that homework is important and are checking that it is done.

Please make sure that your child has the equipment they need for Homework – a pencil, pen, ruler, glue stick and crayons and a quiet place to work, at a table if possible.

Occasionally the Homework set will be an activity for the child to do together with an adult e.g. an activity linked to Topic Work.

If you have any difficulty in understanding what is expected from Homework set, please contact me, or you can comment at .the end of the piece of work

In Year 6 each week, children will have the following Homework to complete:  A Weekly Spelling list to learn (Given Monday, tested the following Monday)

Please help your child to learn Spellings by using the Read, Cover, Write, Check approach to help in this. (It may be easier to practise spellings a few each night rather than all the spellings the night before the test).

 A piece of English and Maths Homework each week – Which is given on a Monday to be returned on the following .Monday At St. Stephen’s, we want all children to be happy and enjoy school life, making the most of learning opportunities and experiences.

If you have any concerns during the year, please contact the School Office and I will telephone you the same day to discuss this and/or arrange an appointment to meet with me.

Year 6 Reading Ready to read in life...

Reading Books are changed on Monday and Thursday each week.

Please help your child to practise their reading book every night (just a few pages or a short story) and sign and date the school planner, showing the page reached or book finished.

There is room to write a comment about your child’s reading if you wish. Why not use the Investigative Reading Bookmark to ask questions about the book and make a comment about your discussion too?

THE CHILDREN NEED THEIR READING BOOKS IN SCHOOL EVERY DAY

Year 6 PE Lessons

PE lessons are held on Tuesday and Thursday. Please make sure that your child has the full PE Kit in school, kept in a PE bag, hung on their coat peg.

PE Kit consists of: House T shirt, shorts, pumps or trainers, sweatshirt and jogging bottoms (for Outdoor activities during the Autumn / Early Spring Term).

Year 6 Swimming We go for Swimming Lessons each Tuesday at Farnworth Pool in the Autumn Term.

Your child will need to bring a swimming kit – trunks or a one-piece swimming costume and a towel.

The children have really enjoyed their swimming experience. It’s now up to you Mums and Dads to carry on the good work by taking them to the swimming baths regularly to allow them to develop their skills further.
