Timetable

Please make sure your child always has their P.E. kit in school - we do remind children to take them home at the end of every half-term so they can be washed. Children need black shorts, a white t-shirt, jogging bottoms, pumps and old trainers for outside lessons. Please write your child’s name in all items of clothing.

Please note that the Year 6 will have Commando Joe every Tuesday and PE every other Friday.

Homework

Your child will find their Dyanamite Dojo Project sheet on google classroom and below. Once your child has completed a challenge, they are to upload a picture or document to their google classroom assignment in order for dojos to be awarded. 

We also use dojos in class to award children for positive behaviour and amazing work!

Forest School

For our Autumn Term Topic, we learned all about the Ancient Greeks. We found out who they were, how they have impacted the modern day and what life was like in Ancient Greece. We also developed our cookery skills and produced lots of yummy Greek food!

Science

Living Things and Their Habitats

Last half term we investigated living things and their habitats. We looked at classification keys and how to identify and sort a variety of living things and made our own classification keys for sweets and leaves that we collected from outside!

French

Madame Baker is excited to be teaching French in Year Six.

Good To Be Green 

At River View, we follow the good to be green system. All children enter the day on green. Children who listen and follow the classroom/school rules and values, stay on green. If children do not, the following applies:

• First warning and a reminder. 
• Stop & think card is issued.
• Yellow card is issued. 
• Red card is issued. 

At any time, if behaviour stops then they return to green.
