Please see below for documents that may be beneficial to help you understand your child's learning in Year 6.

Daily Reading

I expect all children to read for a minimum of 30 minutes every weekday. They can read a variety of books of their choice. They can read it independently, read to a family member or even be read to! Spending time with a book has boundless health benefits and can help children succeed in school. In other words: 

reading is the key that can unlock success!

If you would like some great texts to read to your children, check out the Recommended Reading Lists that are uploaded below. I've categorised the fiction books into genres so you can find books similar to what you know you already enjoy. I have also included the book's Accelerated Reader level where possible. 

If you're reading a book at home and are interested in its Accelerated Reader level, use the website www.arbookfind.co.uk to find out. 

Many teachers at Kingfield love to read and are always willing to give out book recommendations! Don't be shy to ask an adult for a book they think you might like. 

Homework & Spelling

All homework is set online. Homework is explained by Mr Shenton on a Tuesday. It needs to be submitted by the following Monday. If you do not submit your homework, you will be given one day's grace and it must be submitted on the Tuesday. If it is not handed in by then, you may miss your break to complete it. If you regularly do not submit your homework, a letter will be sent home. 

If for any reason you are unable to complete your homework one week, please ask a parent or carer to email or call the office to pass the message onto Miss Humphreys or Mr Shenton. 

Every week, you will be introduced to a spelling rule or pattern or theme. You will be given 5 words to learn and then be tested on 5 additional mystery words that follow the same rule, pattern or theme. You'll need to dedicate some time each week to practising your spellings in order to improve. 

Our Year 6 play a vital role in the day to day life running of the school with a variety of roles and responsibilities. In September, children will be interviewed after they have applied for the role.
