MOBILE PHONES:

Please note: if your child walks to school and therefore brings their mobile phone with them, they will need to hand them in to us, in the classroom at the start of the day; they will be stored securely in the school office.  Please remind children that for safeguarding reasons, phones must be turned off once they are on the school site

Please ensure that you are wearing your PE uniform with suitable sports trainers, have long hair tied up and earrings either removed or covered with a plaster – before you come to school!

Church Challenge!

To continue to strengthen our close links with St Oswald’s Church, we would like to invite the children to take part in several Church Challenges throughout the year.

At special times of the year, two classes will be invited to produce a piece of work to be displayed in church. Each challenge will have a different theme. If we have a huge amount of interest and too many pieces to be displayed in church, we will display the remainder in the school hall to ensure that every child’s effort is valued.

The piece of work needs to be no bigger than A4 and be able to be displayed on a church windowsill or on an easel.

Here are a few suggestions: drawings, paintings, collage, illustrated poems and prayers, photograph and explanation – be as creative as you can!

This is an entirely voluntary challenge for those who wish to be involved.

Challenge 1

Theme: Remembrance/ Poppy Day

Year Groups: Years 5 & 6

Please bring your work into school by Thursday 23rd October.

Homework expectations:

In preparation for the children being ‘High School Ready’ homework will be planned in the following way:

• Weekly times tables test to be marked in class - this will be on a WEDNESDAY.
• Children have received their 10-minute test revision guides which will form the basis of this homework.  They will have one for English and one for maths.  Please ensure that children have a go at all the activities in the 10-minute test and feel free to guide them, should they need some help.  PLEASE CAN YOU GO THROUGH THESE WITH YOUR CHILDREN AND MARK THEM - ANSWERS ARE IN THE BACK.  We will clarify any queries that the children may have ON A FRIDAY so children MUST bring them into school on a Friday morning (this will be monitored).  
• Spellings – The children will have weekly spellings tests ON A MONDAY based on spelling patterns and a list of statutory Y5/Y6 words. Following the test in class, words that the children will need to learn again will be recorded in their spelling books and we ask that you revise these with your child at home. 
• TTRS - this will be used as part of the homework and we expect children to be accessing this regularly. A minimum of 20 minutes per week. 
• Reading – Please use BoomReader to record the reading you have been doing at home - THIS IS MONITORED IN SCHOOL.
