CHANGE TO PE IN TERM 5

Indoor PE will take place on a Monday and outdoor PE will take place on a Friday. On these days, children must wear their PE kit into school, consisting of a grey hoodie, house team T-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms/shorts and trainers.

Homework: Term 5, Week 2

As part of the Year 6 curriculum, it is imperative that homework is completed every week to support in the retention of curriculum knowledge ahead of the SATs in May. Everything we set the children should be accessible to them without the support of an adult. If they are struggling, please encourage your child(ren) to speak to their class teacher directly. We recommend completing this homework between Monday and Thursday so that pupils have the opportunity to do this. Throughout the year, the amount of homework set will increase.

Each week homework is set on a Monday and needs to be brought into school on the following Monday. Spelling tests are on a Friday.

Every child has been provided with a CGP SATS maths book. Between now and SATS week, the children must select and complete at least two pages per week that they have not yet completed. They must be self-marked and brought in on Mondays.

This week, the homework expectations are:

1. 5 x reads and reading record comments - click here to see what comments your child should be making in their reading records.
2. 5 x spelling practise - in preparation for SATS, there are now different words for each day of practice.
3. SPaG questions linked below
4. Two CGP pages that you have not yet completed (you pick which ones).
5. 15 arithmetic questions linked below

Useful information

• If your child has anything they wish to discuss, please encourage them to approach their teacher first. In Year 6, we strive to achieve greater independence in preparation for Secondary School.
• We operate an open-door policy and welcome parents and guardians to make an appointment to discuss any concerns with their child’s teacher. To do so, please email office@haydonleighschool.co.uk, addressing your email to your child's class teacher and outlining what you would like to discuss and we will endeavour to arrange a meeting at a suitable time.

Many thanks for your support in this busy academic year.
