Year 6 - Spring Curriculum Newsletter


Welcome back to the Spring Term, we hope you had a fabulous Christmas! Hopefully, you find this letter informative; please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.


Year 6 SATs Meeting for Parents
Year 6 parents are invited to Broadford Primary School on Thursday 23rd January at 3:15pm for a meeting about SATs. Please see the attached letter that will provide you with more information.


Homework:
Our expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the following every night:
● 15 minutes reading to themselves or an adult (signed in the reading record)
● 15 minutes practicing spellings in their spelling book
● 15 minutes Maths (SATs Bootcamp)


SATs Bootcamp, Mathletics and Rockstars:
A reminder that all children received their SATs Bootcamp, Mathletics and Rockstar account details last term and are encouraged to make the most of this resource.  


Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should practice their words every evening. Spelling books must be brought in on Fridays, which is also when the weekly test happens. This will be closely monitored.


P.E 
Year 6 have PE on a Thursday afternoon. Please ensure that your child is in possession of a full, named PE kit for their lessons. At this time of the year, it is especially cold out; please ensure the children have jumpers and long jogging bottoms for their PE lessons. 


Parental help
It is always extremely valuable to have parents who are able to volunteer time to help hear the children read, or support them with their times tables. If you think that you are able to give regular time to support the children then it would be warmly welcomed.


Stay & Learn sessions
We welcome all Year 6 parents into class on the following dates to work with your children.
Maths: Tuesday 28th January 2020 at 9:00am


Curriculum Information
We have included a summary of the topics which the children will be covering this term. If you would like to make any suggestions of what you or your child would like to learn, please inform your child’s class teacher as we welcome any suggestions you may have.


Thank you for your continued support, we look forward to the year ahead and are sure it will be full of fabulous learning experiences!
