Welcome to Coral Class!
A very warm welcome to our class of Year 6 children taught by Mr McCarthy. We are fortunate enough this year to be joined by a wonderful team of supporting adults. The fantastic Mrs Read and Mrs Mulnier will support us as teaching assistants and we are lucky to have the lovely Miss Woods as our Midday Supervisor.

Knowledge Organisers
Homework.
Homework will be set weekly on a Friday. It will then need to be completed and in school the following Friday or before.
A piece or English or maths will be set each week. It maybe a paper based task or an online activity. Paper based activities will be stuck into homework books. Children will be given login details for online tasks.
Reading - Children are expected to read 3 times a week either to an adult or to themselves. This needs to be recorded in the children's planners. Planners and reading books need to be in school every day. Children will be rewarded for reading three times each week with merits and entry into the reading raffle.
Times tables - These are vital to progress in maths. Children are expected to practice tables using TT Rockstars at home regularly.
Spellings - These are set each Friday and then tested the following Friday. Again, these are vital to children's progress in English and in improving their vocabulary and quality of their writing.
Spellings.
All children will be given a copy of this overview in the first full week of term. It will be stuck into their planners.
Some children will be given personalised spellings in the first full week back.
