Our Class

Our doors open at 8.45am each morning. The children will enter the building through the Y5/Y6 doors. It is important that children are on time each day as we start handwriting at this time and quickly move on to Mathematics.

Reading diaries should be signed and dated each night and will be checked each day. Please spend time discussing the book that your child brings home with them. It is recommended that your child reads for at least 20 minutes at least 4 times per week.

We also encourage the children to read a range of other texts in addition to their home-school reading book. We would be grateful if you could comment on other books that your child reads at home.

The school day ends at 3.15pm.

To achieve this an adult must sign their reading diary. They will continue earning more certificates and reading leaves for every 20 time they read. Enjoy!!

It is important that you help and support your child to complete their homework. If you are unsure how you can support your child, please do not hesitate to speak to your child's class teacher.

Children are encouraged to attend Study Support on Thursday after school as they will have help, if needed, in addition to having access to the resources in school. It is a great opportunity to complete homework.
