• Homework

Notice for parents/carers,

The homework club in 6AC has now changed to a Monday until Christmas.  This is because of the charity champion club starting on a Thursday (this starts today - 12th November).

Thank you,

Mrs Campbell 

Home learning packs available from the school office on Friday 30th October 10am-2pm.  Make sure you know which teacher you have for Numeracy (Mrs Campbell, Mr Whitfield or Miss Woodward) so that you can collect the correct Numeracy work.  

To parents/carers and children, I hope you are well.

As I am sure that you are all aware, there has been a confirmed covid-19 case in our bubble.  Due to the increased number of cases within the school, the whole school will be learning online for the first week back (week beginning Monday 2nd November).

To access your online learning, you need to log on to Microsoft Teams and input your email address and password.  If you cannot remember these details or have any issues, then please get in touch with school.  

We have printed off a home learning pack which will be available to collect from the school office on Friday 30th October from  10-2pm.  This is the work we will be doing on Microsoft Teams so if you have any issues logging on or would prefer a paper copy, then please go and collect a pack from  school.  You will need to know which teacher's set you are in to collect the correct numeracy work - Mrs Campbell, Miss Woodward and Mr Whitfield.  

Each day, I will sets timetable of lessons and tasks for you to complete throughout the day. These tasks will need to be submitted on teams by the end of each day.  I will go through the tasks on our video calls and this will be the chance for you to ask any questions if you are unsure about what to do.  In order to get your attendance mark, it is compulsory that you the call.  To help with siblings accessing Microsoft Teams at the same time, each year group will have their call at a different time.  Year 6 will have their call at 11am.  

I am really looking forward to seeing you all at 11am on Monday 2nd November.  Please log in by 9.30am to look at your assignments and get ready for the day.  

all the best,

Mrs Campbell  

Notice for parents and pupils: there will be no homework club this Thursday (1.10.20) for 6AC.  It will be back next Thursday.  

Notice for parents and pupils: for one week only, 6AC will have PE next week on Monday 28th October, instead of Wednesday 30th.  THIS IS JUST FOR NEXT WEEK!

Notice for parents and pupils: Please don't forget a change of shoes/wellies for outdoor learning tomorrow.

Welcome back year 6! We are really excited to see you all and to get started on our new adventure – your last year at Newall Green. 

We hope that you have had a lovely summer break and that you are ready and raring to go. 

Here is some information for you all to read before you come back to school. 

When you come to school on Thursday 3^rd September, you will need to come with an adult to the year 6 gate (Peace Garden gate).  We will be waiting there for you to let you in after a quick temperature check.  Your adult needs to stay with you whilst this is done so that we can make sure that you are fit and well to start the day. 

You need to be in your normal school uniform and if you have a packed lunch, please make sure that it is disposable if possible.  You just need to bring yourselves (and maybe a packed lunch).  Please don’t bring any personal items from home such as; pencil cases, toys, books etc. 

We will explain everything to you and help you through your first day when we are all together. 

From next week (7.9.20), we will be starting PE and outdoor learning on a weekly basis.  You will need to come in your full PE kit on the day that you do PE (no football kits and needs to be suitable for outdoor PE).  On a Friday, you will need to come to school in clothes appropriate for outdoor learning – these need to be old clothes which are suitable for all weathers – please do not wear anything that you do not want to get muddy. 

PE for 6SW and 6AC will be on a Wednesday.  PE for 6TW will be on a Tuesday. 

Monday –      full uniform

Tuesday –    6SW and 6AC full uniform. 

                     6TW PE kit

Wednesday – 6TW full uniform

                   6AC and 6SW PE kit

Thursday –   full uniform

Friday –       All classes outdoor learning clothes. 

When we first come back to school, we will be doing lots of transition activities and PSHE (Personal, social and health education).  We will also be starting our new topics which are:

History:       Victoria and key Victorians

Geography:   climate change, biodiversity and plastic pollution.

Art:             painting, sculpting and creating flowers.

Science:       fungi, bacteria and leaves.

RE:              Sikhism.

MFL:            French

Homework will be given out on a Friday and needs to be returned by the following Tuesday at the latest. 

Spellings will also be given out on a Friday and the spelling test will be on the following Friday. 

You will be given a reading book which you need to take home with you and read every night and then bring back to school every day.  You will need to have your planner/diary signed to show that you have been reading each night.  Your planner/diary also needs to be brought into school every day.

We will soon be starting an after-school homework club in each class – more information will be given about this soon.

We can't wait to see you tomorrow.

All the best,

The year 6 team.
