Key Dates / Reminders / Homework

PE: Every Wednesday - children to wear PE kits on this day.

Homework: Children are allocated their Maths homework on a Wednesday using their Rising Stars books. These are to be handed in on a Monday. During a week, children are expected to complete at least five Reading Plus assignments. These will be checked on a Monday. 

TT RockStars: Children need to access TTRS and practice all their times tables regularly. TTRS will be checked on a Friday.

Spellings: Spellings are taught weekly. Each week children will have a new list of spellings to learn. These may be challenge words or words which follow a particular rule. Each Friday, children will be tested on the spellings they have had for the week. Spelling assignments are set on Spelling Shed to support children learning their new spellings. 

Children also need to learn to spell the Year 5 and 6 word list, which can be found below and also accessed on Spelling Shed. The list is a mixture of words pupils frequently use in their writing and those which they often misspell. 

Reading: We ask that all children have their reading record signed by an adult each time they have read at home.  We have adopted a traffic light system to encourage the consistency of reading at home across the school.  On Friday, reading records will be checked and record either a red, amber or green traffic light:

 Red : Read 3 times or less

 Amber : Read 4 times

 Green : Read 5 times or more

The children's names are put into a 'Traffic Light Treat' draw on a Friday, if your child has read 5 times or more that week and their name comes out of the box, they will choose a special prize from the Traffic Light Treat box!

KS2 SATs Information for Parents: FAQ

Head Bump Protocol

If children have a head injury when at school, they will be assessed by a First Aider. Should the injury be a minor bump, parents/carers will receive an email to inform them that their child has bumped their head in addition to a sticker and a first aid note being sent home. Parents/carers do not need to respond to this email – it is just another way to ensure parents and carers are informed. If a child has a head injury which the first aider believes need to be checked or the child is unwell after a head injury, a telephone call to parents/carers will be made and they will be asked to collect their child and advised to seek medical advice. In the most serious cases, medical assistance would be called to school.
