Year 6

Class Name

Hummingbirds – Mrs Hampson

Magpies - Mrs Whitehead (Mrs Capstick Monday/Tuesday/Thursday mornings)

School Day

Doors opens at 8:40 am
Register 8:45 am - 8:55 am

Children who arrive after 8:45 am but before 9:15 am will be marked as 'Late' (L) whilst the register is open. This will not affect the attendance percentage but persistent lateness will lead to parents meeting with senior leaders to discuss possible support and find solutions to prevent further lateness. Failure to improve lateness may lead to parents been reported to the Local Authority Attendance Team.

Children who arrive after 9:15 am (All year groups) will be marked as 'Late' (U) after the register has closed. This will count against the attendance rate. Persistent lateness after 9:15 am will raise safeguarding concerns and further actions will be taken to support the parents to improve the attendance rate. Parents will be reported to the Local Authority Attendance Team who may have direct involvement with parents.

Communication with the Team

  • Morning communications when children arrive must be brief (teachers are busy starting lessons). If needed, hand over a written note to provide more detail and we can phone you during the day.
  • Teachers are usually available at the end of each day for a short chat if needed.
  • Alternatively send an email to office@silverstone.pdet.org.uk and this will be forwarded to Mrs Hampson, Mrs Whitehead or Mrs Capstick.

PE Days

Hummingbirds Thursday and Friday
Magpies Tuesday and Thursday

Children in Key Stage 2 will get changed for their PE lesson at school. Children can either leave their PE kit in school or take it home at the end of PE days or as requested by parents.

PE Kit
  • School logo jade t-shirt
  • Navy shorts
  • White socks (sports socks ideal)
  • Plain Trainers – for outdoor games
  • Navy School logo hoodie (optional)
Outdoor
  • As above
  • Grey, black or navy plain tracksuit bottoms or leggings
  • Grey, black or navy plain tracksuit top
  • Thermal compression tops – ‘skins’ (optional but recommended)
  • Gloves (not allowed for sports activities involving hands such as netball, basketball, throwing and catching)

Equipment

  • Water bottle (named)
  • Pencil case (with required equipment)
  • Packed lunch bag
  • Small bag to carry homework

Due to very small cloakrooms it is helpful if children only bring a small bag into school.

We expect all KS2 children to take responsibility for their own belongings. Children must ensure they have the correct equipment in their pencil case every day. It is a good habit to check school bags every evening, ready for the following day.

Homework 

Reading - It is expected that your child reads at home at least 5 times per week. Reading with an adult and asking questions to develop reading comprehension skills can be useful.

Maths - Children In Year 6 should continue to maintain their secure knowledge and quick recall of all multiplication facts up to 12x12. In addition Year 6 should have secure written methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Practicing these regularly at home will have a significant positive impact on children's confidence and ability in Year 6.

Year 2 are expected to have secure knowledge and quick recall of x2, x10 and x5 multiplication facts

Year 3 are expected to build on this have have secure knowledge and quick recall of x2, x10, x5, x3, x4, x6, x8 multiplication facts

Year 4 are expected to build on this and have secure knowledge and quick recall of all facts including x7, x9, x11, x12

Year 4 children will complete the National Multiplication Check Test in the summer term of Year 4.
