Welcome back - Autumn 1

We hope you and your families have enjoyed a lovely summer holiday. It's been wonderful to welcome the children back into school and we are very excited for their Year 6 adventure to begin. Our school value for this half term is gratitude and we are looking forward to see the children demonstrating this throughout the coming weeks. Please see below for this half term's curriculum information.

Please don't forget that our Instagram is updated regularly, so you'll see lots of learning and experiences taking place on there. Remember, you can contact school at info@stjohnsrc.net.

Reading Books

We encourage children to read for at least 30 minutes every day. We would appreciate your support in helping them to find some time every day to enjoy a book.

Some children will be given a banded reading book and all have a 'reading for pleasure' book to take home. Children should bring their reading book in every day as there will be opportunities for reading throughout the day. Their reading books will be changed every Friday if needed.

Homework

Please login into Atom Prime each week: https://atomlearning.com/prime

New English and Maths will be added every week.

Spellings

Children will be taught spellings through a new scheme called 'ELS' where workbooks are used regularly. Their lessons include activities and quizzes throughout the week.

Children will not have a formal-style spelling test each week as they will be assessed in other ways (e.g. dictation, quizzes, independent application).
