Welcome back to the children’s final term at Tipton Green Junior School we look forward to making lots of wonderful memories and achieving many great things in the final stage of the children’s junior school experience. During the next few weeks, we will be working with the children to prepare them for their upcoming SATs tests. We will also be preparing the children for their transition to secondary school. Attendance during this term continues to be important to ensure that the children have a smooth and successful transition.
During the children’s final term we have many exciting experiences planned to ensure that the children have a memorable end to their time at Tipton Green. Upcoming events include our residential to Laches Wood, a trip to Drayton Manor, the Year 6 Summer Fair and end of term events including a production, fun day and leavers’ party to celebrate their successes at Tipton Green and wave them off in style as the prepare to embark on their secondary school adventure. There are so many wonderful experiences for the children to look forward to.
We will continue to set homework using Century. Please encourage your children to use Century at home as this will help the children to consolidate their learning. Children will also be sent home with weekly spellings to learn.
The focus for our wider curriculum can be found on 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 and earrings must be removed before PE lessons in line with Health and Safety guidelines.
P.E
Reading
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.
Homework
Children will be given a piece of homework every fortnight, this may come in the form of 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.
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.
We thank you in anticipation of your continued support and look forward to working with you to ensure your children have a successful final term. If you have any concerns or worries staff will be available on the playground at the end of the day, please arrange a time to speak to one of us, as we are always happy to help.
