Pupil Expectations
Uniform
All pupils are expected to follow the uniform policy and are expected to look smart and presentable around the school, at all time. Black shoes or trainers must be worn to school or other footwear will be presented to pupils. If pupils are not in correct uniform or footwear, a phone call home will be made, for uniform to be brought into the school. If this fails, children will be given correct uniform or footwear to wear. This is in-line with the uniform policy.
PE
During PE, children will be expected to bring their full correct kit. If they do not, they will be sent down to the office by the teacher for some kit to borrow. From September, we will be taking part in outdoor PE and will be taking part in a fitness module during indoor PE. Exercising and improve our fitness is beneficial to us, as it helps keep our bodies on top form, help the release of important chemicals in our body and helps fit boredom and negative emotions that we may get during a action-packed year.
Homework
Homework is sent home to either act as revision for previous topics or consolidation of learning outside of the classroom. Please be involved in your child's learning as much as possible, but please allow them to complete it on their own merit. Homework has changed recently. Homework is now set as a project. This is to help pupils love for their work, improved retention and general knowledge and allows pupils to be more connected with their homework. Children will be given a homework book and they have to complete as many as the tasks as they can. There is a range of activities around their topic. This is to give children the choice in what they do and allow all homework to be personal and varied.
Robot Creation!
On Thursday 19th December 2019, 6KP had the opportunity to create and code robots! This involved understanding the pieces of the robot, manufacturing the robot, editing the parts of the robot to ensure it has balance and coding the robot so that it would not crash into obstacles. We had a lot of fun!
Reading With Your Little Scholar
Here in 6KP, we believe that reading is not only an important part of learning, but an important part of everyday and future life. To deconstructing instructions, catching a bus, setting up Sky TV from following a cookbook - reading is immersed with everyday life. Reading allows us to become critical and reflective. No one is born a perfect reader, reading takes time, practice and commitment - but it is fun too!
Following on from the wonderful conversations from parents evening, parents were interested in how to help their children at home - especially with reading. Above is a useful page regarding questions to ask your child. Just pick two or three from each section and you're away!
Update
Starting from December, we are now going to do Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) sessions every Wednesday and Thursday morning. This involves all of the children reading their chosen books every Wednesday and Thursday morning. This will give them the calm opportunity to read and will have their reading record next to them. An adult may listen to them read and sign their reading record. This is extra important, so please bring your reading record!
Literacy
In literacy, we are studying Legends. The legend we will be studying is the famous hero Robin Hood. We will read a short story about an event in his life and write various pieces around it. From glossy gossip magazines to personal diaries. It is an exciting unit, so don't miss out on asking your little one what they have been learning during this topic.
