This half term, our geography unit is about climate zones and biomes. The half term's homework is to find out more about one biome. What animals and plants live there? What is the weather/climate like there? Once again, the children can present their learning how ever they would like. These are the main biomes:

Mon 6th January - return to school.
During the week beginning 13th Jan - RSPB Big School Bird Watch. We will decide upon the day closer to the time once we know the weather conditions. We will be going out to count the birds. They will wear uniform as usual but warm coats, hats etc... are recommended. If your child has a pair of binoculars that they could bring in so that they can use them on the day, that would be great.

Autumn 1 |
|
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.
