The children have been working really hard in preparation for their SATs test wb.12th May. It is really important that the pupils are on time and attend daily. Therefore, we will be offering the pupils to come in earlier for breakfast together with their classmates. Children can arrive in school from 8am. Please indicate on the slip on the letter , whether your child will be attending the breakfast.
​
Please continue to send your child with a named water bottle, that they can refill with water and use in school. Children can continue bring a piece of fruit to school for their morning snack.
For more details about our learning this term, please see the Curriculum Overview..
​
Year 6 PE sessions are:
Indoor PE Tuesday
Outdoor PE Wednesday
​
Please ensure that children come into school on both PE days are wearing the correct PE uniform Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days. Children may be asked to remove earrings before PE sessions.
Children will be given a piece of maths and English homework every fortnight and an arithmetic paper which will help the children to consolidate the learning they have done in class.
In addition to this the children will continue to have access to the online learning platform Century, which they will have access to both in school and at home. This platform allows the children to complete questions for maths, SPAG, reading and science and provides the children with examples, models and videos to support their learning.
It is a brilliant tool for learning and we would very much recommend that the children take advantage of the resources that are available.
Children will also be sent home with weekly spellings to learn.
Children will continue to receive reading books linked to their ability from school and will have access to the school library where they can choose books for pleasure, they have the opportunity to change these weekly during our library slot. We encourage your children to read as many times as they can weekly and fill in progress/ areas to develop in their reading diaries, this is vitally important as it will support the children with the SATs reading comprehension paper.
On Wednesday 16th July, the children will be performing a leavers play. Two tickets will be allocated for the 9:15am performance and two for the 6pm performance. Siblings in school will be able to see the performance during a dress rehearsal to the rest of school. This will be a play lasting 45minutes – 1 hour. The children will need to be back at school at 5:30pm. Access for the performances is through the community doors. Please return the slip below indicating whether your child will be coming back for the evening performance as this will help staff with parts in the play.
On Thursday 17th July, the children will have a ‘fun day’, this is not finalised yet, but we are hoping to carry out activities such as Bushcraft, bouncy castles and dodgeball. They are not required to wear school uniform on this day but need to wear sensible clothing for activities including socks. They will then be able to come back on the evening from 6pm-8pm to have their ‘Leaver’s Disco’. Children can dress in normal party clothes or in prom outfits like previous years. The children will be in school on this day until 3:15pm due to the activities we have planned for the children. If any parents would like to help set up the hall with decorations, then please let us know as I know some of you are keen to do so.
On Friday 18th July, the children will need to wear school uniform, but they can bring in an extra shirt for other children to sign throughout the day. The children will also be given an autograph book by the school. Again, children will be in school until 3:15pm on their last day.
We know in the past that school have sorted a hoody for the children. However, not all children buy these and therefore we would like to instead buy all children a t-shirt along with an autograph book as part of their leaving present. These will be given out in the last week of term ready for the fun day.
Finally, we would like to create a video for the children featuring a collection of photos from their time at Tipton Green. If you have any photos from over the years, could you please email them to Year6@tiptongreen.org.uk by Friday 20th June so that the video can be completed. This video will be appearing on our website so please phone school if you do not wish for your child to be included in the video.
Thank you for the continued support, any problems do not hesitate to contact the year 6 team
