Welcome to Class 9!

Welcome back to a new school term! I hope you've all had a restful easter and are refreshed and ready for a new school term. Summer term is lined up to be a very busy one for us with all Sports Day, Year 6 Residential, Year 6 SATs and the Year 5/6 performance.  Information about all of these key events will continue to be shared via the weekly newsletter as well as Parentmail. 

Please find below some key information for the coming school term. This page will also be updated regularly with important information. Don't forget to also follow our school Facebook page to for lots of photo updates too!

On arrival, children should make their way straight down to Class 9, through the door near to Class 5 and 6. 

If you do have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to me on the playground at the end of the school day or by making an appointment  through the school office.

Reading

Your child should  now have a banded reading book and a diary. We recommend regular reading at home to support their progress, even in Year 5 and 6. 

Children are also welcome to bring a second book into school of their own choice if they wish to do so.

We will also continue to develop our reading skills in class. This half term we will be reading the Nowhere Emporium (fiction) and A Really Short History of Everything (Non-fiction) during our reading lessons . We will also be reading The Kid who Fell Through Time as our class daily reader.

Mrs Weaver's Group Spellings:

Could children please go over these words and learn the ones they are not sure of. These are the words they have been given as spelling homework since September, so they should have already been learning these. Most of them will have these in their spelling books, this list is just to help fill gaps for those children that were perhaps off school or didn’t have their homework books to get the spellings for that week.

Many thanks,

Mrs Weaver

Homework

Spelling homework  will be set on a Friday.  these will be available to view and/or print on this class page. This should be used to support your child in practicing their spellings using the Sounds and Syllables structure taught in class. There is no requirement to hand this back in, however, spellings will be tested every Thursday in class.

If your child has different spellings, these will be sent home with them.

Maths homework will also be set each week on a Friday on My Maths. This should be completed by the end of the following Thursday. Topics may be chosen to consolidate learning from that week or to recall and refresh prior learning. Logins will be sent home with your child. 

In addition to this, all children will continue to benefit from regular practice on TimesTable Rockstars to continue to develop their rapid recall of both multiplication and division facts.
