We are really impressed with the standard of homework we have been receiving in Year 6; many Dojos have been handed out for this. The children understand that it is important preparation for secondary school and for reinforcing their learning. We will be continuing to send homework out on a Friday to be handed in by the following Friday. Writing tasks may be in preparation for work we will be completing in class so it is important that these are completed on time. Where applicable, homework will be marked together in class. Weekly Mathletics tasks will be set and monitored and it is expected that children are reading on a regular basis.

 

We are continuing to learn words from the Year 5/6 spelling list which can be found in the middle of the reading records.

On Monday 27^th January, we had an assembly on promoting tolerance.  The assembly was delivered by Janet from School Safeguarding.  She taught us that tolerance means to accept differences.  It means showing respect for the race, religion, age, gender, opinions and ideologies of other people or groups.  Janet was very impressed by our school and said this,

'Thank you for inviting me to school today. I just want to say that I thought the children were amazing, so well behaved and it has to be the nicest assembly that I have ever been to, the songs were inspirational - the children were a credit to the school and I thoroughly enjoyed spending some time with you.’
