PE
Hawk Owl’s PE lessons will be on a Monday and Wednesday this term. Please come into school in your PE kit ready for these lessons. This term, you will be focusing on Frisbee and rounders. Please make sure you have a change of indoor shoes for the rest of the day whilst you are in the classroom and school building and that all of your kit is labelled with your name. Remember earrings must be covered or removed. PLEASE - make sure you have the correct coloured PE kit.
Weather
Sadly, the weather is changing and we are now experiencing the autumn change. Please make sure you have a coat every day and a change of shoes. A pair of old trainers that can be left at school would be ideal unless, of course, you prefer wellies.
Reading
In Hawk Owls, we have an extensive range of exciting books which you are more than welcome to borrow and enjoy at home or in the classroom. We have a signing out book which you can fill in with the book you would like to borrow to help us keep track of our lovely books. Once you have returned this book, you can then sign out a new one. You are also welcome to bring in your own books from home. I would suggest writing your name in the front so we can easily return it to you if it wanders around the classroom.
Will you take on the year 6 reading challenge? Or maybe you'll choose to read one of the top 100 books you should read before you leave Primary School.
Spelling
We will work on our spellings in class during our early morning work and as a weekly informal spelling test. For those of us who find spellings a little difficult, a mixture of year 6 and individual spelling words will be given.
Homework
Every Thursday/Friday you will receive a sheet with short tasks or questions relating to our lessons in SPaG, maths and English. Each task can be completed on its own. Therefore, hopefully, it will make it easier to do for those of you who are busy with out-of-school activities. Please attempt each task but always ask me for help if you are unsure. Homework will be handed out on a Thursday/Friday and should be placed in the homework tray by the following Wednesday.
Mrs Hawksworth will be in class with us every morning from Monday - Friday.
Mrs Green will teach on a Monday, Tuesday and Friday.
Miss Wells will teach on a Wednesday and Thursday.
We are really looking forward to supporting you throughout this year, so please come and talk to us if you have any worries, however great or small.
If your grown-ups have any queries or concerns this term, they are more than welcome to contact us via the school office at office@greatmiltonschool.co.uk or come and speak to me at the end of the day.
Here's to a great year.
