Useful Information
Homework
Homework is set on a Monday and should be completed by the following Monday. Children will have SATs Buster books to complete as well as times table practise, spelling practise and they should also read every day for a minimum of 20 minutes. They should record their reading in their diaries at least 3 times a week. Please note spellings are tested on Mondays and new spellings sent out on Mondays.
PE
On PE days children should come to school in their outdoor PE kit (black shorts/ joggers, white t-shirt, black hoodie and black trainers). Hair longer than shoulder length should be tied back and jewellery removed. PE days are on Tuesday and Friday.
Equipment
Pupils should come to school every day with all the equipment they need. They will need the following: A small named pencil case, HB pencils, clear shatterproof 30cm ruler, blue handwriting pens (not biro), rubber and sharpener. Children can also bring in glue sticks, gel pens, pencil crayons, highlighters and felt tips if they like but these are not essential.
Mobile Phones and Smart Watches
We would prefer that children do not bring a phone to school. However, for those whose parents feel it necessary, the phone must be switched off and in the child's bag at the school gate before entering the school grounds in the morning. Then handed to the teacher in the classroom to be stored in a safe. This will be returned at the end of the school day, to be placed in the child's bag. They should only be removed from their bag and turned on when they are off school grounds. Phones are stored at the child and parents’ own risk and school cannot accept and responsibility for damage or loss.
Nut Free School
Please remember that we are a NUT FREE school. Pupils are allowed to bring in snacks of fruit, vegetables, plain bread sticks or cheese to eat at morning break. Thank you for your support with this.
Charter created by and for Year 6
At the start of the school year, Year 6 children worked collaboratively to investigate problems we face on the playground and in class and to come up with resolutions that we can all take (children and adults) to make sure that 'our fun is fun for everyone'. This included looking at the charter they completed in Year 5 and the charter previous Year 6 children created. Class teachers were blown away with the responses that children had! We put all ideas together to create a charter or expectations that we all verbally agreed to follow. You can find this here:
