Rhinos - Year 6
Welcome to Rhino Class :)
Mrs Rashid, Mrs Gregg & Miss Whiteway
Homework
English & Maths homework will be printed off and given out every Wednesday and should be completed by the following week. Spellings will be given on different days, so be sure to check your Google Classroom notifications for when they are assigned and when they are due back in time for your test. Stay on top of these tasks, and you'll be all set!
In addition to your regular homework, I will be setting a "talking homework" every Wednesday. This will involve a discussion task where you will be asked to talk about a specific question or topic. There’s no need to write anything down unless you’d like to; just be ready to share your thoughts and have a good discussion when we meet. It’s all about building confidence in speaking and listening!
PE
PE will be taught by Mr. Kelly on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On these days, please make sure to wear your full PE kit. Additionally, don’t forget to bring a spare pair of socks and shoes, as we may head out onto the field, where it could be wet and muddy. Let’s be prepared to stay active and have fun!
Reading
Please make sure your child brings their reading book to school every day. This will allow them to be listened to and work on their reading targets throughout the week. It’s also important for children to explore different genres, as this broadens their reading experience and helps them discover new interests. By reading a variety of texts, they’ll build their vocabulary, which supports both their writing and speaking skills. Regular reading not only boosts confidence but also enriches their language development, setting them up for success!
