Welcome to Year 6!

Year 6 is an exciting and busy year in which children will grow in confidence, independence and resilience as they prepare for the next stage of their education. We offer a rich and creative curriculum, with lots of wonderful subjects to explore. Children will be encouraged to think deeply, ask questions, work collaboratively and take pride in all that they achieve. Throughout the year, we will enjoy a wide range of high-quality texts, develop confident and expressive writing, strengthen mathematical understanding and investigate fascinating topics across Science, History, Geography and the wider curriculum.

There will also be plenty of opportunities for creativity, discussion, practical learning and memorable experiences.

Our school day begins at 8.45am and finishes at 3.15pm. Children may come into the classroom from 8.30am as part of our soft start.

Reading

Children are expected to read regularly at home. Parents can support by listening to their child read, discussing unfamiliar vocabulary and asking questions about the characters, events and ideas in the text. We also encourage children to talk about what they are reading and explain their opinions using evidence from the book. Books are to come into school each day.

Spellings

Spellings are given out on Friday and children should practise these regularly at home throughout the week.

Homework

Homework is given out every Friday and should be returned by the following Thursday. Children are also encouraged to practise their times tables regularly.

PE

Our PE days are Monday and Friday. Please ensure that children come to school wearing the correct PE kit and that all jewellery, including earrings, is removed.
