Homework

Homework is one of the best ways for you to support your child at school.

Reading with your child regularly, discussing and asking comprehension questions about what they have read is essential.  Please make sure your child reads with you at least 3 times a week and that you record this in their reading diary.

Children will be set weekly spelling activities. 

Our year 6 children are set work from their CGP revision books each week. This helps them embed their learning in maths and English in preparation for SATS. 

Homework will be given out on a Friday and needs to be returned on a Friday. Children will be rewarded for completed homework by gaining team points. We celebrate exceptional homework weekly; children can share their outstanding work with the class and receive dojos.

P.E.

 Children can come to school in P.E. kits on P.E. days, which are Monday and Thursday.

Maylandsea P.E. kit is as follows:

• Light blue t-shirt
• Black or navy shorts
• Plain black or navy tracksuit (no large logos, no hoodies)
• Trainers
• No jewellery, including earrings

Equipment

We supply most of the equipment the children will need in class. We ask that they bring a named refillable water bottle each day. It is also a good idea to send a healthy snack in for playtime. 

The children have access to a wide range of books here at school, but if they are reading something from home, they are welcome to bring it into school to enjoy during our daily OTTER (our time to enjoy reading) sessions.

Phones are collected in the morning, stored safely in the office during the day and returned to children at the end of the day.

Home time

School finishes at 3.15pm. Children are asked to wait by the classroom until they see the adult who is collecting them. If you would like your child to walk home on their own, you will need to fill out a permission slip.
