Welcome to Year 6

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Can you believe we’re already in our last half-term of the school year?

We want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible effort all the children have shown, especially during SATs week. They approached the challenge with resilience and determination, and we couldn’t be prouder of how hard they’ve worked.

With SATs now behind us, the summer term is packed with exciting activities. Rehearsals are underway for our end-of-year production, and our trip to Blackpool is booked for Thursday 20th June—a well-deserved treat for all their hard work!

Children are welcome to wear their leavers’ hoodies to school if they wish. It’s lovely to see them taking pride in their time at school as they prepare for their next big adventure.

Let’s make this final term a truly memorable one—full of learning, laughter, and celebration as we prepare for the next big step in the childrens' journey as we work to reach our potential together in Christ. Here’s to a fantastic final half-term!

Mr Wilson, Mrs Naughton and Miss Mitchell

Homework

Spellings and homework will be sent home on a Friday to practise during the week ready for a test the following Friday.

Please have a look at the 'Summer 1 Homework Grid' below. We understand that family life is busy, therefore, it is not essential that all of these activities are completed but we do ask that your child aims to complete some of the activities to reinforce their learning across the curriculum.

Reading 

Reading at home is incredibly valuable, children who read frequently at home are more likely to make greater progress in their fluency and understanding of the texts they read. Please encourage your child(ren) to read their reading books as much as possible, ideally 3-5 times per week. 

Talking about the text with them and asking questions to develop comprehension skills can be extremely impactful in enhancing their English ability. 

A few polite notices:

• • Please label all of your children’s clothing that they bring in to school.
  • PE is on a Monday – children must wear school PE kit – white t-shirt or polo shirt, black hoody or tracksuit top, black shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms and suitable trainers – no high tops, boots.
  • Swimming lessons will take place on Wednesday afternoons this term. Please ensure your child brings their swimming kit each week (costume, towel and swimming cap) so they can take part fully in this important and enjoyable part of the curriculum.
  • Forest school is on a Friday – children will need to come in suitable clothing for being outdoors and a change of footwear for when we get back to school.
  • We ask that children read their reading books as much as possible, ideally 3-5 times per week.
  • Spellings and homework will be sent home on a Friday to practise during the week ready for a test the following Friday  Children should practise their times tables throughout the year. Pupils are required to know all of their times tables up to 12 x 12! Don’t forget to use Times Tables Rock Stars! If you have difficulty logging in, please let me know so we can address any issues.
