Parents Meeting Intro Y6.pptx

We are ambitious for all our children as they journey safely through our school.

Our children will become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens of our community
and the wider world. They aim to be ‘lights to the world.’ Matthew 5:14

Our core Christian values of: Respect, Kindness, Forgiveness, Honesty, Friendship and Perseverance, underpin
everything that we do.

Year 6 Curriculum:

Homework:

As children get older, they will increasingly take responsibility for their own
work and homework tasks. That’s not to say that parents can’t help though.
Encourage your child to work independently on their homework, but also take
the opportunity to discuss it with them and to have them explain their
understanding to you.

Homework:

Reading regularly and discussing their reading with an adult across a wide
range of genres. We expect children should read for a minimum of 20
minutes daily at home.
Spellings – there will be a list of ten words each week that children will
focus on learning. Children are expected to practise these at home on
Spelling Shed.
Arithmetic, reading comprehension, punctuation and grammar homework
will be set weekly using CPG books.
Times tables Rockstars 5-10 minutes practice everyday via website or app.
Any additional work to support the learning will be set on Google Classroom.

Parent Partnership:

Monitor your child completing their Home learning to ensure they are
completing their work to the best of their ability and are handing in on time.
We will go through the answers in the CPG books in school each Friday
morning.

Ensure your child knows their times tables up to 12 x 12 – practise, practise,
practise!

Discuss school with your child. What was the most interesting thing you
learned today? What did you enjoy today?

Practise with every day life, mental skills- addition and subtraction, telling the
time, money and word problems.

Watch the news (BBC newsround) and discuss topical issues.

End of the day: It is helpful if children have a regular meeting point with
whoever is picking them up further away from the main gates.

Home/School Support : I am Mrs Hodgson -  the
Home/School Support Worker
at Bilton C of E Junior School.

At BJS we are very aware that in order to support children in achieving the
best possible outcomes, we must look at the ‘whole child.'  
We now live in a time where pressures on children and their families are
mounting and sometimes that can impact on the way children behave, learn and
feel.  We also know that at times parents need support to.
We are invested in your child’s learning and pay particular attention to their
Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) in-put.  My role supports this
through me working with children and families to identify any barriers to
wellbeing and learning. We then work together to look at the best ways to
tackle concerns. Positive changes can be achieved through support delivered
directly in school, for example through 1:1 with the child (this might include
work with RISE resources or Draw & Talk Therapy), delivering parenting
support or holding  Early Help support meetings. This is not an exhaustive list! 
There may also be times where we need to look at services delivered by
external services but I can work with you to access those.
If there is an issue that may, in some way, impact on your child’s wellbeing or
ability to either attend school or settle and concentrate once they are with us,
please let me know.

Online safety:

Our Online Safety policy reflects the importance of using
information systems and electronic communication safely.
We aim to keep our children safe online in school and
promote their safety at home when using mobile phones,
games consoles and wireless technology. We feel it is
important to educate our children on the benefits, risks
and responsibilities of using information technology.

Online Safety is taught to all pupils explaining how to stay
safe and behave smartly online (SMART rules) throughout
the year.

We also celebrate Safer Internet Day in February 2

Online safety:

We are all able to recognise that the internet is an
essential element in modern day life.

Here are a few tips for safe internet use:

• Set time limits for internet use. Balance time on the
computer with time outside or other activities.

• Ensure your child understands why it is important not
to publish private information.

• Placing internet access in communal rooms is a wise
decision.

• Discourage meeting online friends unless an adult is
present.
