Year 6 - David Attenborough
Hello everyone, welcome to our Attenborough class page.
We are one of three classes in Upper Key Stage 2. In our class we are all Year 6 children
Here you can find out about what we're learning.
Our PE days are Wednesdays and Fridays.
Useful information
PE days are Wednesdays and Fridays.
Your child needs to come into school on their PE days (Wednesdays and Fridays) wearing their outdoor PE kit.
No jewellery is allowed in PE lessons, so if your child has their ears pierced they will either need to take their earrings out for P.E. or cover them with tape/plasters, provided by yourselves, so that they don’t get caught during the lesson.
Homework in Year 6 is given out each Monday and is due in the following Monday.
Each week your child will receive an English homework sheet and an online maths activity on mathletics. Your child’s login details are in their diaries, in their homework folder and on a separate letter.
Spellings are given out on a Monday and your child will be tested on these the following Monday. The weekly spelling test will have a total of 12 spellings — 10 learnt and 2 ’unseen’ spellings from previous weeks. Spelling lists are located in the front of your child’s diary and they are uploaded to Spelling Bee (login details are located at the front of your child's diary)
