Violet Class 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Violet Class!

We hope that you have all had a wonderful half term break. The team in Violet Class are looking forward to continuing on towards Easter together with your children. We have lots of exciting and interesting learning opportunities planned for the coming half term. Here are a few key points for your information:

Our topic for the Spring term is ‘Love where you live’. This term, there will be a focus on geography and appreciating the town of Nantwich. We are so lucky to live where we do and we will explore the human and physical geography of our local area. We will get the opportunity during this term to also look at living things and their habitats as well as evolution and theories surrounding this.

Please see the timetable on this class website page for more details of how each day will be organised.

PE kit will need to be worn on Thursdays and Fridays. The Friday session will be ran by the Sports Coaching Group this term. A reminder that black kit needs to be worn for this.

SATs information

Please note that this year that the KS2 SATs will run from Monday 12^th May to Thursday 15^th May. This means the timetable for the week looks as follows:

• Monday 12^th May: English grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS) papers 1 and 2
• Tuesday 13^th May: English reading paper
• Wednesday 14^th May: Mathematics papers 1 and 2
• Thursday 15^th May: Mathematics Paper 3

These are a statutory requirement for all year 6 pupils across the country.

There will be an information meeting about the KS2 SATs held on 24th March at 3:30pm at school.

Homework will be set on Fridays to be returned the following Wednesday. This will usually include a Maths task and an English task. In Year 6, children are expected to read regularly and at length. A minimum of 3 x 30 minute sessions of independent reading is recommended, as well as reading aloud sometimes. Hopefully, your child will read for pleasure but if you feel that they are not enjoying reading, please contact us and we will try our best to help them find reading material that will motivate them.

We ask please that you continue to support your child with their work at home in what is an important term for them. We have a range of resources that we can suggest to help with supporting them. We recognise that they may experience a range of emotions as the year continues to progress and we ask that you work together with us on this.

We look forward to seeing you all soon and working with you to support your child with their learning in Year 6.

Please email mgreasby@peartreeprimary.co.uk if you have any further questions.
