Welcome back to the second half of the Autumn Term in which we have had Parent Consultation Evenings and can now look forward to our Christmas Performances at St Martin's Church in Lewes Road.

 - Elder class are performing on Monday 8th December 7-8pm

In the New Year, the Year 6 teachers will be holding meetings in school for parents to discuss the PGL residential trip - 22nd - 24th June 2026 - (what happens, kit etc and any questions you have) and SATs - 11th - 14th May 2026 (what happens during SATs week and how we prepare in school for this and anythng you can do to support your children at home).

 

Please remember that Elder Class are swimming on Thursdays of this half term.

 

The 10 spellings we are currently practising (week beginning 08.12.25) are:

• words ending with <ance> or <ence>

ambulance, appearance, nuisance, significance, vengeance,

audience, consequence, inference, violence, existence

 

In our daily lessons, we break each word into syllables as shown below:

am/bu/lance, a/ppea/rance, nui/sance, sig/ni/fi/cance, ven/ge/ance,

au/di/ence, con/se/quence, in/fe/rence, vi/o/lence, ex/i/stence

 

Here is some important information for the year ahead:

 

Swimming: 

Elder will swim this half-term; the first session is Thursday 6^th November.  

 

PE:

Oak class has indoor PE on Mondays and outdoor PE on a Thursday afternoon (if not swimming in the morning).

 

Elder class has indoor PE on Tuesdays and outdoor PE on a Thursday afternoon (if not swimming in the morning).

 

Please remember to come to school wearing their PE kit with long hair tied back and earrings removed/taped. 

Homework:

This will be set every two weeks.  Each child has a homework book in which to complete/stick their work.  Books need to be submitted on Thursdays and new homework will be issued on the Friday.  Year 6 is a good time to start practising completing homework expectations in readiness for Secondary school!

 

Please bring a water bottle to school!

 

Best Wishes
