Welcome to the class page for Compassionate Cheetahs! Our class teacher is Mrs Simpson and we are supported by our class teaching assistants, Miss Williams and Mrs Bishop.

 We have a really exciting year ahead and are looking forward to enjoying our time together in school, exploring our new topics and encouraging you to achieve your best in all that you do during your time at Oasis Academy Bank Leaze!

Here is an overview of what books we will be looking at in each term and what our topic question will be in those terms:

Each term there will be a class newsletter uploaded to this section.

This will tell you all about what we are learning about, when our PE days are and what books we will be reading. It also contains key class dates for the term.

Term 1

Term 1 has been so busy!

What a great start to year 6 we have had! The children have shown a real willingness to learn and are excellent role models to the rest of the school.

We have been on camp, completed our first set of mock SATs, read 'There's a boy in the girl's bathroom', learnt the four methods of calculation in Maths and so much more. Stay tuned for some pictures of our learning.

Homework

•  Daily reading of 15 minutesChildren should be reading at home every day for 15 minutes. This can be independently or aloud to an adult. Children also have access to Reading Plus which helps to improve their reading speed and stamina. Children should record this in their reading dairy daily and bring to school to be checked.
• Times table practice on times tables rock starsChildren should be going onto TT Rockstars at home daily for 10 minutes. This will support them with their fluency and speed on times tables knowledge up to 12 x 12.
• SumdogWork on sumdog is set weekly by Miss Parsons. This work is personalised to each child and enables the children to focus on very specific learning to support their academic progress.
