Welcome to Class 6:

• The class teacher is called Mrs Fairgrieve. 
• This year we will be looking at 3 main topics, including ‘Celebrations’, ‘Up, Up and Away’ and ‘Food Glorious Food’.

The School Day:

• Children can be dropped off between 8.45 and 9.00am, gates will be locked at 9.00am, pupils arriving after this time will be required to go through the office and will be recorded as late.
• Pick up time will be 3.00pm to 3.15pm. Children left behind after 3.15pm may be asked to join After School Club and a charge will be applied.
• Please continue to follow the one-way system in place to avoid bottlenecks at gates.
• Each day the children need a coat, water bottle and packed lunch if they are not having a school dinner.
• Suitable footwear – every day we will encourage the children to take part in the daily mile or other physical activities, so they need comfortable, safe footwear to do so.
• Slippers can be left in school for children to change into.
• All children need to have wellies and waterproofs in school, to protect their school uniform, to take part in outdoor learning which will be timetabled on a regular basis.
• All uniform including outdoor clothing needs to be named.

PE days:

• All pupils need to bring an appropriate PE Kit on their allocated PE days.  Class 6 will do PE on a Monday.
• Track suit for outdoor winter games.
• Plain black shorts/cycling shorts or leggings.
• A school Royal Blue short or long sleeved T-shirt which can be purchased via the school website/ uniform shop or a plain blue or white top can be worn.
• Training shoes suitable for outdoor games on the field and playground.
• A PE bag with the school logo is issued to every child when they start school to keep all PE clothes together.
• No football shirts/strips should be worn and clothing should not have large brand names on them.

Reading and Learning at home:

• Daily Reading: We will send home reading folders daily and these will need to be bought back every day, please write comments in the diary when reading at home.
• The children will be able to change their basket books from inside their reading folder as frequently as needed.
• Maths and spelling activities to be shared weekly by Dojo – regular maths and spelling challenges in class will review how this learning is going.

ParentPay:

ParentPay can be used to pay school meals and for any other trips / visits that are planned in school.

ParentPay is also used to give permission for activities beyond the daily curriculum offer, including for trips, visitors or other enrichment activities.

Keeping in touch:

We will continue to use Dojo as a way of keeping in touch. 

We will do our best to respond in a timely manner but please bear in mind that during the school day we are focused on teaching and learning with your children, and we do not monitor Dojo throughout the evening.
