Homework:
Every week, we expect the pupils to complete their homework on the three Doodle platforms: Doodle Maths, Doodle English and Doodle Spellings (these will be called ‘Assignments’ when logging onto these platforms).
In addition to Doodle, we expect the pupils to be reading at least 4 times a week and learning their weekly spellings.
PE Days
This term, the children will need their PE kits in school for a Tuesday and Thursday. We suggest the children bring their kit in at the beginning of the week and leave it in school.
PE Kit:
We ask the children to bring fleeces and jogging trousers as well as outdoor footwear (if required during the colder months of the year), as the children will have an indoor and an outdoor session each week. This should include:
- White T-shirt
- Navy shorts (indoor PE)
- Plimsolls/trainers
- Navy or black tracksuit top and bottoms (for colder weather)
Key Dates:
8th October – Trip to Newark Civil War Museum
11th – 14th May 2026 – Year 6 SAT Tests Week
Sunday 7th June – Wednesday 10th June 2026 – PGL
Early Bird
Early Bird Reading takes place on a Tuesday, Early Bird Maths on a Wednesday and Early Bird Spell on a Thursday. Please come and join your child for these sessions at 8.50 – 9.00.
School Diary
Pupils will be receiving a new school diary. This will be complete with important school information and can be used as a point of contact between parents and teachers. These diaries will be checked on a weekly basis. It is therefore the children’s responsibility to have them in school every day. Please feel free to comment on the reading children are doing at home.
Reading is Fundamental. In fact, it is one of the most important ingredients to becoming all that you can be.
Reading develops the brain, provides a window into the world around you and helps you do better in all school subjects. We recommend that children are heard for at least fifteen minutes each night and notes to be made in their planners.
