Year 5/6
Welcome to Year 5/6!
We have an exciting year ahead with lots of new, exciting learning and trips to look forward to. On this page you will find homework and learning information under each term.
Spelling Homework
Spellings will be on a two-week plan. On the first Monday, children will be taught the new rule before receiving their list of spellings to practise and learn at home. Spelling books then need to come into school on a Friday to be checked. On the following Monday, spelling books will be sent out again ready for the children to practise the same set of words but their homework will be to put each one into a sentence. All spelling homework will be uploaded onto the website.
Maths Homework
Maths homework task will be sent home every Tuesday to be handed in on the following Monday. A paper copy will be sent out each week and, again, I will also upload a copy to the class page. We will also complete Arithmetic tests each week, in class.
PE
Children change into their P.E. kits in school. Our PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays.
Independence
In Years 5 and 6, the children are dismissed at the end of the day from their classrooms in The Stig building. For the first few days, I will accompany them to the playground but, from then on, they are 'on their own'. Please reinforce the message that I will be giving them - they do not leave the school premises unless they are with the adult who is collecting them, if that adult does not arrive, they are to return to the classroom where they will find me, and we will sort it out together.
Children in Year 5 and 6 sometimes walk home on their own. This is only in agreement with parents. If you are happy for your child to leave the school grounds and walk home alone, we ask that you inform the office of this arrangement.
Please contact me on Dojo if you have any questions,
Mrs Young
