This noticeboard will be updated on Thursday afternoons to share homework and keep you updated with life in Year 6.

KS2 Neurodiversity Celebration Week  – March 16th to 20th 2026

During the week beginning 16th March, all pupils from Y1 to Y6 will engage in a variety of activities that will support their awareness and knowledge of neurodiversity terms and concepts at an age-appropriate level. Awareness and knowledge is the first step towards developing a whole Belmont community with positive attitudes towards neurodiversity and neurodivergence.

In KS2 (Y3, Y4, Y5 & Y6), the children will have an assembly at the start of the week where they will learn that neurodiversity is a way to describe how all of us are different in the way we think, feel and learn. These differences are not easily visible (they are inside us) and this can make it harder to recognise and understand these differences in others.

Weekly Routines

Word Aware

Our topic this term is ‘Who do You Think You Are?’

The below list is part of an initiative called Word Aware that we are using in school. We thought it would be helpful to share this list with you so that you can use some of these words at home when discussing the topic. If your child speaks a different language at home, it would be helpful to discuss and translate these words using your home language. We may add to this list during the topic as new words are introduced.

Reading for Pleasure Book List

As part of our focus on reading in school, we would like to develop the lending library of books within each class. This will enable the children to foster a passion and love of reading at Belmont and ensure that they have access to high quality texts.

Please find links to two book lists that have a variety of we would love to have in class.

Once a book has been donated to the class we tick it off below.
