Mrs Crawford Mr Godon Mrs McIntosh Long Term Plan Spelling Shed Each child has an individual login that allows them to access games to support with the learning of spelling. Spellings are personalised to your child’s ability and will be reviewed and updated regularly. https://play.edshed.com/login Times Table Rock Stars Your child has an individual login that allows them to access the Times Table Rock Stars website. This site supports your child in learning their times tables. Each week your child will be tested 3 times on the times table that they are currently working on. https://ttrockstars.com/login PE We will be doing PE on a Thursday and Friday. Please ensure that all children have a full PE kit for every lesson: this includes a white T-shirt, navy or black shorts and PE shoes. If your child is unable to participate due to medical reasons, please bring in a signed note explaining why. During the summer months, trainers are allowed when PE takes place outside. For the safety of all pupils, jewellery must be removed- stud earrings (that cannot be removed) must be covered with tape. Homework Reading books will be sent home daily and children are expected to read at least three times a week for a minimum of ten minutes. PLEASE encourage your child record their reading and bring their book to school each day. Children are encouraged to learn the times tables that they are working on each week. They will be tested on these on 3 times a week and questions will include both multiplication questions (4 X 8=32 ) and corresponding division facts (32 divided by 8 =4 ). These are essential facts needed in Y6 to help with arithmetic tests. Spellings will be sent home on a Monday and children will be tested on these on the following Monday. It is essential that time is set aside for them to learn these spellings over the course of the week. Children can also access spelling shed, using their own personal login. On here, games are catered to their weekly spellings. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask, if we can support we will. Reading In year 6, we encourage children to read as much as possible and to challenge themselves with a range of different novels. Everyday we set aside time for the children to listen to a class novel being read to them but also give children the opportunity to read independently a book of their choice. Why is reading so important? Reading improves concentration – Children have to sit still and quietly so they can focus on the story when they’re reading. Reading also relaxes the body and calms the mind whilst also exercising the connections in the brain. Reading teaches children about the world around them – Through reading, they learn about people, places and events outside their own experience. Reading improves a child’s vocabulary, leads to more highly-developed language skills and improves the child’s ability to write well. Children learn new words as they read as well as seeing how to structure sentences and how to use language effectively. Reading develops a child’s imagination – When we read we translate the descriptions of people, places and things into pictures. Reading helps children develop empathy – When we’re engaged in a story, we imagine how the characters are feeling and use our own experiences to imagine how we would feel in the same situation. https://www.booksfortopics.com/ On the Books for Topics website, you will find a list of high quality texts suitable for your child to read. Below is a selection of books recommended for children in Year 6. Year 6 Statutory Spellings These are the words that your children need to be able to read and write by the end of Year 6.
