IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Welcome to grade 6. We are looking forward to a year of not only hard work, but one where we shall work together with you, to nurture and develop your child into the best he/she can be.
To avoid any misunderstandings and pre-conceived ideas, we would like to draw your attention to the following before the parent information evening, which is Tuesday, 25 January, starting at 19:00 in the school hall.
Expectations from the educators
We would like to have an open channel of communication between you, your child and us, so that we can work together as an effective team. Please use the homework diary to make appointments to see the class teacher whenever needed. We aim to be consistent with our discipline and expect the learners to be responsible for their own actions and behaviour. The class teacher will contact you if any problem arises. Please contact the class teacher, if you have any concerns about your child. Cutting, snide comments between teacher and parents in the homework diary must be avoided at all times.
Dress Code
We expect learners to take pride in their school. The correct uniform must be worn. No hair is allowed to be coloured and we expect learners to be neat and tidy at all times, whenever they have their sport or school uniform on. Each learner has a timetable, so they know when they have Phys Ed. Phys Ed Clothes may only be worn on Phys Ed days. It is their responsibility to bring their appropriate clothes to sport, so please don’t run after your child. On civvies days, we expect the learners to be appropriately dressed, where no body parts are exposed (no strappy tops and mini skirts).
Homework
Please refrain from doing your child’s homework, you passed grade 6 a long time ago. Homework diaries must be signed and checked daily by a parent or guardian. Reading should be done daily for approximately 20 minutes before bed. Tables and bonds should be revised daily for about 15 minutes. Homework should take an hour to one and a half hours most days. Orals and research for projects will be given in advance, so that information can be found on the internet or in the library. Learners will be informed in advance about tests, projects and orals so that they can prepare for them. Projects will be done at school so that the teacher can monitor that the work is done by the learner. If your child is experiencing problems with his/her homework, set up an appointment with the teacher as soon as possible.
Outings
You will be notified of all outings in advance. No money is sent to school for any outing, the amount will be added to your school account. The Grade 6 camp to Bergkroon (Wellington) will be from 19 - 21 April. All other monies sent to school, must be sent in a clearly marked envelope with the learner's name and what the money is for (e.g. Sam Sax 6CM:R75,00 For Campout).
DAT/Extra Lessons
Learners who are struggling with Reading, Spelling, Comprehension or Mathematics will receive assistance in a small group situation. DAT will be done on a Tuesday or Thursday morning at 07:30. We offer extra Afrikaans and extra Mathematics, which are menu items and done in the afternoon. The class teacher will contact you, if your child requires either of these.
We are a dynamic group of grade 6 educators, who are interested in the development of the learners at Kenridge. We are here to serve you, and look forward to your continuous support and encouragement. Please feel free to chat to us about your ideas and concerns.

BELANGRIKE INLIGTING
Welkom in graad ses. Ons sien uit na 'n jaar van nie net harde werk nie, maar een waartydens ons met u sal saamwerk om u kind op te voed en te ontwikkel.
Om enige misverstande te voorkom, wil ons u aandag vestig op die volgende voor die ouerinligtingsaand, wat plaasvind op Dinsdag 25 Januarie om 19:00 in die skoolsaal.
Verwagtinge van die opvoeders
Ons wil graag 'n oop kommunikasie kanaal hê tussen u, u kind en ons, sadat ons kan saamwerk as 'n effektiewe span. Gebruik asseblief die huiswerkboek om afsprake te maak wanneer u die opvoeder wil spreek. Ons beoog om konsekwent te wees met ons dissipline en verwag dat die leerders verantwoordlikheid sal aanvaar vir hul dade en gedrag. Die opvoeder sal met u in aanraking kom indien daar 'n probleem is. Skakel met die opvoeder indien u besorg is oor u kind. Probeer asseblief om 'n positiewe gesindheid te bevorder in alle kommunikasie tussen u en die opvoeder, wanneer u opmerkings in die huiswerboek skryf.
Kleredrag
Ons verwag dat leerders trots sal wees op hul skool. Die korrekte skooluniform moet te alle tye gedra word. Gekleurde hare is ontoelaatbaar en ons verwag dat ons leerders altyd netjies geklee sal wees. Dit geld vir beide sport- en skooluniform. Elke leerder het 'n rooster en hulle weet wanneer hulle Liggaamlike Opvoeding het. Sportklere mag slegs op hierdie dae gedra word. Dit is die kind se verantwoordelikheid om die korrekte sportklere in te pak. Moet asseblief nie u kind pamperlang nie. Wanneer ontspanningsdrag (civies) skool toe aangetrek mag word, verwag ons dat die leerders smaakvol sal aantrek.
Huiswerk
Moet asseblief nie u kind se huiswerk doen nie. U het alreeds graad ses geslaag! Huiswerkboeke moet daagliks geteken en gekontroleer word deur 'n ouer of voog. Lees moet daagliks plaasvind vir 20 minute voor slapenstyd. Tafels behoort daagliks hersien te word vir omtrent 15 minute. Huiswerk behoort 'n uur tot 'n uur en 'n half te duur. Mondelingonderwerpe en navorsing vir projekte sal so spoedig moontlik gegee word, sodat inligting verkry kan word op die internet of in die biblioteek. Leerders sal vroegtydig in kennis gestel word oor toetse, projekte en mondelinge sodat hulle betyds kan voorberei. Projekte sal by die skool gedoen word en sal te alle tye die leerder se eie werk wees. Indien u kind probleme ondervind met sy/haar huiswerk, moet u so gou as moontlik 'n afspraak met die opvoeder maak.
Uitstappies
U sal vroegtydig in kennis gestel word wanneer 'n uitstappie plaasvind. Geen geld word skool toe gestuur vir uitstappies nie. Die bedrag sal teen u skoolrekening gedebiteer word. Die graad ses kamp is te Bergkroon, vanaf 19 - 21 April. Alle ander gelde wat skool toe gestuur word, moet in 'n duidelik gemerkte koevert wees. Die leerder se naam moet daarop verskyn, asook waarvoor die geld bedoel is. (Bv. Sue Smith 6NA: R40,00 vir karnaval).
DAT/ Ekstra lesse
Leerders wat probleme ondervind met Lees, Spel, Begrip en Wiskunde kan hulp ontvang in 'n klein groepie. DAT sal op Dinsdagoggende of Donderdagoggende om 07:30 plaasvind. Menu aktiwiteite word in die middae aangebied. Dit sluit in ekstra onderrig in Engels, Afrikaans en Wiskunde. Die betrokke opvoeder sal u in kennis stel indien die leerder enige ekstra hulp nodig het.
U sal vind dat u graad ses leerder onderrig word deur bekwame en toegewyde persone. Ons sal ons beywer om voortdurend u seun/dogter te ondersteun en aan te moedig om sy/haar beste te lewer.
Ons hoop 2011 gaan vir u en u seun/dogter 'n goeie jaar wees.
