• Teachers are usually available at the end of each day for a short chat if needed.
• Alternatively send an email to and this will be forwarded to the relevant teacher.

Equipment

• Water bottle (named)
• Pencil case
• Packed lunch bag
• Small bag

Due to very small cloakrooms it is helpful if children only bring a small bag into school.  To support the transition to secondary school we encourage Year 5 and 6 to take responsibility for ensuring they have all the resources needed each day.  Checking their school bags daily is a good habit to get into.

Homework

Reading - It is expected that your child reads at home daily for at least 10 minutes with an adult.  Re-reading a book several times, becoming familiar with tricky words in a book and asking questions to develop reading comprehension skills can be useful. 

Times Tables - Both Year 5 and 6 should practice all times tables to ensure their knowledge remains sharp.

During the spring term Year 5 will continue with an English or maths activity for homwwork each week.   Year 6 will use their SATS revision guides for homework.  Year 6 will be set their revision guide activity on a Friday and returned on a Wednesday.
