Year 6 Long-Term Plan:

Autumn 1 Weekly Timetable:

Key information:

PE:

PE days this term are Wednesday (indoor) and Friday (outdoor). Pupils should come to school wearing their PE kits on these days; they will then stay in their PE kit all day. Earrings should ideally not be worn on PE days.

Forest School:

Opal will be attending Forest School on Monday 8^th September, Monday 15^th September and Monday 22^nd September.

Pearl will be attending Forest School on Monday 29^th September, Monday 6^th October and Monday 13^th October.

On these dates, pupils will need to bring in the following additional clothing - a pair of long trousers, a long sleeved top, wellington boots and a waterproof coat - in case the weather is inclement.

Hilltop:

Our Year 6 residential trip to Hilltop is from Tuesday 9^th December to Friday 12^th December. We will be scheduling a Hilltop meeting close to the October half term to let you know what the pupils will be getting up to on the trip and what to take. This date will be communicated shortly. If you have any questions regarding payments for the trip, please contact the school office.

Home Learning:

We ask pupils to read at home daily for at least 15 minutes. Each pupil has a level-appropriate reading book. Every time they finish a reading book, pupils should complete the corresponding quiz on the Accelerated Reader website. Teachers will review their reading progress weekly and pupils will be celebrated for reaching their reading targets. To access the Accelerated Reader website, click on the link below.

Pupils have also now been given their first ‘6 book challenge’ book. These books have been carefully selected as core reads for their age group and pupils should aim to read all six books by the end of the year.

In addition, pupils are set spellings to learn each week. In Year 6, pupils are tested on spellings twice a week: on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To help them learn and practise the spellings, pupils have all been given an account on Spelling Shed. Click the link below to access the Spelling Shed website.
