Welcome to Giraffe Class!

(Year 6)

All you need to know about Giraffe Class

Who are the adults?

Miss McEwan is our class teacher, Mrs Gilbert covers PPA and usually teaches art and computing.

What do we need to bring each day?

You need:

• A water bottle
• Your reading book
• Your reading diary 

Please remember to wear your school tie every day.

What homework will we have?

Please encourage your child to read and read with them as much as possible. Studies show that reading for pleasure makes a big difference to children's educational performance and develops a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures.

• Our expectation is that children read  at home 5 times per week and this needs to be signed by a parent each time. 
• Spellings are taught daily - spelling test changes each week as there are six lessons in each spelling unit. Autumn spellings are stuck inside each child's planner.
• We expect the children to practice their multiplication tables on TT Rockstars for around 5-10 minutes per day. A little practice each day makes a huge difference in children's ability to retain multiplication facts. 
• Weekly maths homework will be given by your child's maths teacher.

If the children complete their homework tasks, they will be awarded Dojo points. We will also be sending out homework menus in the near future where the children can complete hands on or free choice activities around the topics they learn in school and the children can earn even more Dojo points.
