Weekly Reminders

Homework

Your homework will consist of 10 spelling words. You should practise these words three times using one of the methods which are in the back of your Homework Book. You will also have a Maths task to complete, which will be based on this term’s KIRF (Key Instant Recall Facts). Completed homework must be returned to school on a Wednesday, ready to be marked and returned with the following week’s homework on a Friday.

Reading

Reading is so important for a child’s development. Reading just a few minutes a day has a massive impact on a child’s ability to access the rest of the curriculum. If a child reads regularly, their writing will improve, alongside other core curriculum areas.

We ask children in Year 6 to read at least five times a week and write comments in their diaries for these reads. You should use the example comments in your diary to help structure these comments. We are looking for one vocabulary, one retrieval and one inference comment per week. The other two comments are your choice. We check Reading Diaries on a Thursday, so make sure your diary is in school on this day.

PE

On Mondays and Thursdays, please come to school in your PE uniform: your red Randlay t-shirt, a jumper, black joggers (in winter) or shorts (in summer) and plain trainers. No football tops please.
