Rhinos

 

Rhinos’ Class are in the final year of primary school. Mr Nunns (Maths Co-ordinator) is Javan Rhinos class teacher and  Mrs Garrard is the class teacher for Sumatran Rhinos.  Mrs Storer (HLTA)and Mrs Dzopia (ETA) also support in the classes..

Our doors open at 8.40am and registers will be closed by 8.50am. Morning sessions begin at 8.45am and finish at 12.15pm. In the mornings the class is split into two separate groups (Javans and Sumatrans who take turns being taught Maths and English in two smaller groups). Afternoon sessions start at 1.00pm and end at 3.10pm. In the afternoons upper key stage two are taught: science, computing, modern foreign languages, art, design technology, music, religious education and physical education. These sessions are led by a member of the teaching staff from year six while the other teachers work in smaller groups to accelerate learning in the core curriculum areas.

Please come to school in your full PE kit on your PE days (Mondays and Wednesdays) - do not wear school uniform.

Maths homework is given out on Fridays via the Seesaw app and is expected to be completed and returned on the following Tuesday. In addition, each Friday a list of differentiated spellings are given out to be learned before a spelling test on Friday. These will also be available on Seesaw. At Hillside we love reading. We believe it is essential to our children's learning as it helps them to develop language skills and increases their knowledge of the world around them. Children are expected to read daily and complete their Seesaw reading diary each day, which is monitored by the class teacher.

During the second week of May 2022, Year 6 pupils will participate in the Government Statutory End of Year Stage Tests (SATs).

Throughout school, each year group have a set of English and Maths Key Instant Recall Facts (which are targets that are based on basic skills relative to the year group of the child). These are a key focus designed to ensure that your child can readily access more challenging work. These are assessed regularly and changed termly. Your child may be given some of these non-negotiable targets to consolidate at home

 

Year 6 plan a full day trip out as a reward to all children, who have worked hard, been responsible and demonstrated good behaviour throughout the year and children will spend time planning, rehearsing and producing an end of year performance that parents/carers will be invited to watch in the last week of term.
