Welcome to Year 6

Welcome to your final year at primary school – what an exciting journey we have ahead of us! Year 6 is a special year, full of opportunities to shine, challenges to tackle, and memories to make.

This year you will be role models for the rest of the school, showing kindness, responsibility, and determination in all that you do. Together, we’ll dive into new topics, develop our skills, and prepare for the adventures that await you in secondary school.

There will be times when things feel tricky, but remember: every challenge is a chance to grow. We will encourage each other, celebrate our successes, and learn from our mistakes.

We are so excited to see the amazing things you’ll achieve this year. Let’s make it our best year yet – full of learning and laughter, as we work to reach our potential together in Christ. Here’s to a fantastic first half-term and a brilliant Year 6! 🌟

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 'Autumn 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.
  • 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 practice during the week ready for a test the following Friday.  
  • Children should practice their times tables throughout the year. Pupils are required to know all of their times tables up to 12 x 12 and fluency with these facts and their corresponding division facts will be a huge help for the children over the year!  Don’t forget to use TTRock Stars or Timestables.co.uk! If you have difficulty logging in, please let me know so we can address any issues.
