Welcome to Year 6

Dear Parents/ Guardians,

Can you believe we’re already in the summer term? Time really flies! As we dive into this exciting final stretch of the school year, we want to take a moment to acknowledge all the hard work the children have put in, especially with Mock SATs and official SATs coming up soon. We know you’ve been busy preparing, and we’re so proud of your dedication and determination.

To help you with your preparation, we’ll be offering a free breakfast club during both SATs weeks! It’s the perfect opportunity to fuel up and share some last-minute tips with your classmates before the exams.

Once Mock SATs are behind us, it will be all systems go for the real SATs! After that, we’ll be having an after-SATs party where we can unwind and enjoy some well-deserved fun together and celebrate all your hard work!

And let’s not forget about the leavers’ hoodies which will be delivered by the end of SATs!

Let’s make this summer term unforgettable as we prepare for the next big step in your journey and really work to reach our potential together in Christ. Here’s to a fantastic final term!

Mr Wilson, Mrs Naughton and Miss Mitchell

Homework - This half term will see a big push on SATs revision, please do your best to get your children to engage with their homework as it will really benefit them in the coming weeks

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.
• 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.
