Year 6 PE days are Wednesday and Friday. Children are asked to come into school wearing their school PE kits on PE days. They will also need a pair of pumps for indoor PE which should be kept in a labelled bag on their peg.
Year 6's allocated library session will be every Monday morning. This is an opportunity for your child to visit the library in a small group and select a reading book to read at home. These can be shared with families and recorded in their reading diary.
CGP books will arrive soon and will be used for homework. In the meantime, children are expected to record their reading in their planner and practise their spellings.
In Year 6, some parents allow pupils to start walking unaccompanied to and from school. We ask that you complete and submit a 'permission to walk home from school unaccompanied' letter, as your child will not be permitted to leave by themselves without this. Additionally, pupils are only allowed to bring a mobile phone into school if consent has been provided for them to walk from school independently.
