Here is our Reading Bookcase, which shows the key texts we will read across the curriculum in Year 6:

We use our CLIC values to help us to learn to the best of our ability. We believe that every child has the right-

C– to be a confident communicator

L– to learn

I– to improve their health

C– to be part of a community

At Netley Abbey Junior School, these ideas underpin all of our learning. With this in mind, please take some time to see what we have been up to in class.

If you would like any further information about our curriculum, please feel free to talk to our class teachers in the first instance who should be able to answer any queries. Alternatively, you can direct any questions to Mrs Rosie Earle, Federation Director of Teaching and Learning.

Our PE Days

We would like children to have their PE kit in school every day, however, we understand that they do need washing, so children may take them home over the weekend and bring them back the following week. P.E. kits will be sent home at the end of each term.

Please ensure your child has trainers in school at all times, for the Golden Mile.

Our P.E days are Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Homework

Homework is always given out on a Friday and hand-in day is Wednesday.

In Year 6, each week, children are expected to complete:

Reading for 30 minutes a day for 4 days (this could include a story before bedtime)

Spellings practice for 10 minutes a day for 4 days

Times Tables practice (TT Rockstars) for 10 minutes a day for 4 days

If children cannot complete their homework at home, they should attend 'Homework Club' which is on a Wednesday lunchtime.

Homework help

Please see the link on key grammatical terms that your child will be learning about.

A Parents Guide to Grammar

At Netley Abbey Junior School, we use the ‘VIPERS’ to help us answer questions about the books that we read. Your child should know all about these in Year 6, but here is a link with questions that you might like to use at home when reading with your child.
