Welcome to Year 6!

Our teachers are Mr Beesley (6CB) and Miss Miller (6VM)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Year 6 is the final year for our children at primary school. It is always a busy year as we prepare for the end of Key Stage SATs and the transition to high school. We will also be working hard this year to cover the Year 5 obectives that were not taught in school, in the usual way. 

To find out what we are learning about this term please look at our Curriculum page where you will find the Year 6 Overview. 

Year 6 is a year of hard work, but also lots fun. We are trying to include as many of the exciting activities, which take place in Year 6, as safely as possible. Some of these include:

Bikeability 

A visit from Roberts Bakery 

Ukulele 

Exciting science experiments 

Day trips and visitors where possible and lots more

Homework

Currently homework is set on a Friday. The children are set English tasks, maths activities and a maths fluency worksheet, which they have two weeks to complete in their homework book. This homework is emailed home but we will print the homework for children when requested. Year 6 are also expected to read 3 - 5 times a week and to take part in regular times table practise using Times Table Rock Stars. Reading Diaries are to be signed at three times by an adult at home. 

PE 

Mr Cairns teaches PE on a Tuesday afternoon. The children also have an additional PE lesson on a Monday delivered by their class teacher. Please see the curriculum map for the year's sports. Both classes will take part in Bikeability sessions across the year. 6VM will be in January and 6CB will be in July. 

Mrs Gatiss will also teach Spanish on a Tuesday. 

Water bottles

We encourage children to bring a water bottle each day, please ensure it is only water.These bottles should be taken home each day to be washed.
