PE days
PE for both classes this term is a Tuesday. For the first half of the term, we will be inside for gymnastics. We have spoken to the children about what constitutes their PE kit; however, just as a reminder it is black/ navy shorts, a plain white t-shirt and trainers.

Homework
Reading
We would really appreciate it if you could support your child with reading. In Year 6, this could include you sharing the reading with your child and/or having discussions about what they are reading. Although we will remind them of the need to regularly change their book once completed, they also need to work on becoming increasingly independent and reminding themselves. Reading for pleasure and enjoyment is something that we will continue to encourage. Although they will not have a reading record this year, we would like them to read at least 4 times throughout the week.

SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar)
Each week, your child will have lessons in spelling, punctuation and grammar, they will then have a piece of homework set on a Friday to be completed by the following Thursday. Your child has login details to the 'spag.com' website to complete these activities.

Please find below the link to the Grammar terminology.
