A happy new year to everyone and a huge thank you for the amazing gifts and cards I got for Christmas. I was very spoilt and very grateful!
Please see attached a letter which will go out next week regarding work and homework expectations for Year 6 for the next term. There is more emphasis on targeted homework this term and on adults supporting children to meet their homework expectations, so please take a minute to read the letter if you can. I completely sympathise with busy parents in trying to juggle homework on top of all our other demands, but I have seen such a difference in the attainment of children who have encouragement and support with homework that I know it is worth it!
The pace is picking up for Year 6 in January, but they are more than ready for this and they will enjoy the challenge of doing the best they possibly can do!
