To support our UKS2 children in taking ownership of their homework and to ensure they have the resources or support to complete it; there is a Friday lunchtime homework club (where children can choose or are directed to attend).
Homework is set every Wednesday on sumdog (maths) and Edshed (english) and must be completed by the following Monday. There will be 3 dojos for completing each piece of homework.
We are encouraged to read at home as often as possible and are asked to ensure we read 4 times a week. Parents, each time your child reads to you or themselves, please sign in their purple book to confirm that they have read. We are rewarded with cushions for reading 4+ times a week! Every time your child reads, they will earn 1 dojo.

PE
Our outdoor PE day is Tuesday and indoor PE will be on Wednesday. Please ensure that children are in their active uniform on these days, with long hair tied back and earings removed. Children may also need a coat for any wet weather.
Routines
Take your reading diary and reading book home each evening and return it to school the following day. Reading books are stored in the basket by the board. If you need to do a reading quiz, use the chromebooks in the classroom.
We come into school quietly and calmly and get on with our morning task which is often spelling, times tables or fix-its from our previous days learning.
Spellings are on a Monday.
Always be prepared for the weather!
REWARDS
We have lots of rewards.
Reading - children who have read 4 or more times each week at home get to choose a cushion to sit on in class.
Each week one child is chosen as our book winner. This child gets to choose a new book. This award is for effort with reading at home or at school.
Each week we have a house point champion.
Special certificates are also awarded in a Friday assembly for our class superstars!
Dance - British Values
As part of our PE dance unit, the children explored the fundamental British Values through creative movement and choreography. Working collaboratively, they devised their own dances to represent values such as democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.
The children performed their dances to their peers, sharing the meaning behind their movements and creative choices. They also took part in giving and receiving constructive feedback, celebrating one another’s ideas and identifying ways to develop their performances.
This exciting unit encouraged creativity, teamwork and self-expression while helping the children deepen their understanding of British Values in a fun and engaging way.
