  • Information about the Y6 residential to Cliffe House will be shared  this half term. More information about this venue can be found at https://www.ukschooltrips.co.uk/cliffe-house-residential-shepley-huddersfield/

PE 

PE is on a Thursday.  For PE, children require a white t-shirt and black shorts. For games activities outside, children need a white t-shirt, black shorts and trainers. Tracksuits, preferably plain, may be worn for games during winter months. All clothing should be clearly labelled. Jewellery must not be worn for sporting activities and long hair should be tied back. 

Reading

The aim is for every child to read at least three times a week. Children do not need to read to an adult if they are a free reader but we would ask that all children have their reading record dated and signed each time they have read. Children who are reading a school book should return it as soon as they have finished it so that it can be changed quickly. https://schoolreadinglist.co.uk/reading-lists-for-ks2-school-pupils/suggested-reading-list-for-year-6-pupils-ks2-age-10-11/    has a list of great books Y6 children may enjoy.

Homework  

Spellings will be given on a Monday and they will have a test the following Monday. Maths and English homework will be given during the week.  

Dojo Messages

We will look at Dojo on a regular basis.  If you have an urgent message during the school day, e.g. that your child needs to go home with someone else, please call the school office.
