Start and End of Day Routine
Children need to arrive at school between 08:45am and 08:55am. When they enter the classroom there will be a morning task set for the children. This may be responding to written feedback from the previous Maths or English lesson; finishing off work; completing some Arithmetic work; or they will be given time to read to help support them in hitting their reading target.
Children are also welcome to attend Breakfast club at 08:30am where toast, crumpets and juice are provided free of charge and is open to all children.
At 2:45, all children finish lessons and are given 15 minutes to independently read. To support our children who need to increase their reading ages, some go to TAs around the school and are heard read 1:1. Some of our children who need additional support in reading are heard read by a buddy reader (another child in Y6).
At the end of the day, children are to be collected from the Junior School playground at 3:05pm.

Homework Expectations
In Year 6 children are expected to read for at least 20 minutes each day at home. Please can this be recorded in their reading records daily. Please be aware that we do not change books as soon as the children have read them once, as we want the children to re-read books in order to develop their awareness of punctuation and develop their fluency.
Year 6 children will be given a weekly spelling list, every Wednesday, that focuses on the spelling pattern we are learning that week. We will have a spelling test every Monday and record scores to track progress. Please make sure your child is practicing these spelling words each week and spellings are completed ready to be handed in on Mondays.
A Times Table Rock Stars battle will be held every Friday and will last until the following Friday morning. All Children are required to achieve at least 250 points. The winning group in the battle win a prize, however only children who have achieved the required 250+ points will be eligible for the prize.
