What An Incredible Start to the Year We Have Had!

Dear Parents and Carers,

Our new Year 6 children have astounded us with their incredible attitude to learning and the kindness they show each other. They really have made a most wonderful start and we are so excited as their teachers to see what the rest of the year will bring.

As well as daily reading and times table revision, written homework will start this week (Wednesday for English and Friday for Maths) Children will need to purchase their homework books from school and you will find further information in the letter attached.

Our curriculum and residential trip information will take place on Thursday, 19th September in the school main hall from 5:45pm – 6:45pm.

For the week beginning 16th September, PE for all of Year 6 will be on Monday and Thursday.

The week beginning 23rd September, PE will continue for all of Y6 on Mondays. Forest School will also then take place and replace the second PE session from 25th September up until half term. Due to clashes with the peri music lessons, we have had to make some changes to the originally planned dates. We apologise for any confusion and thank you for your patience and understanding. All children will need to come to school in their forest school clothes (long sleeved tops and trousers, a coat and suitable footwear such as old trainers or wellies. Spare clothing should be brought in their school bag with a small towel). The new days for forest school will now be on:

WEDNESDAYS – 6F

THURSDAYS – 6B

FRIDAYS – 6C

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to get in touch on our Year 6 email: year6@stmarksce.org.uk

Here’s to a happy year of learning and we are looking forward to seeing you on Thursday!

Mrs Chapman, Miss Fowler and Mr Bonner.
