Term 6 Key Dates

Term 4

Key Dates 

Can I please remind parents that children must be in full school uniform everyday and children must not wear trainers to school. 

As we are preparing the children for their SATs, they will be getting daily homework.  Please remind them to complete it and bring into school the following day.  If they don't, they will have to complete it during break time. 

St David's Class Information 2022-2023

I hope you have all had a lovely time over the summer and I am sure you are now ready for your child to start the new school year, so welcome to Year 6! I am looking forward to working together with you so that we can create a very exciting and productive final year at St Bartholomew's for your child.

Year six is a challenging year; the best way to describe it is like a roller coaster ride - lots of highs and a few lows! In year six, as you are probably aware, we have SATs and we work extremely hard to ensure that all the children have the best opportunity possible to achieve their full potential. However, we also try to ensure that we have fun along the way and provide the children with some lovely lasting memories.

We, as a school, want to ensure that your child reaches his/her full potential, emotionally, socially and academically and we feel that this is best achieved when we work alongside parents. I have put together some information that will hopefully answer many of your questions and give you a clear overview as to what your children will be doing in school. We ask that you support us by ensuring that all homework is completed and that children have good attendance throughout their time in year 6.

I look forward to welcoming you into class on Monday 19^th September for a ‘meet the teacher’ session.  The time for this will be confirmed shortly. 

Homework

This term homework will be given out on a Thursday and to be returned by Tuesday- there will be support sessions every Monday morning for children that may have struggled with a particular question or need support to complete it.  If the children do not bring their homework in the following Tuesday they will be expected to complete it a break times until it is finished.  Homework given in late may not be marked.  

PE

Your full PE kit should be in school at all times. PE lessons take place on  a Thursday.

Spellings

Spelling tests will take place on a Friday morning with Mrs Weaving.  If children get more than 30% of their spellings wrong there will be a retest  the following Monday.

Reading

Reading books will be changed by the children when necessary. 

Please encourage your children to read for at least 30 minutes every day.  This is imperative for their reading development.  Your child will have a set of questions on a bookmark that should be used to develop their understanding of a text - please use this to help them to develop this skill.
