Croeso i Flwyddyn 6!

Welcome to Year 6!

Along with myself, we have Clare in the classroom with us in the mornings who will provide great support for the children.

We are thrilled to be in Year 6 and looking forward to finishing your child's primary school learning journey with them!

We have some exciting projects over the next year which include:

Autumn 1 - Past, Present and Future

Autumn 2 - Lights, Camera, Action!

Spring 1 - TBC; A topic decided within the Eastern cluster

Spring 2 - Disaster Zone

Summer - I've Got The Power

Summer 2 - Time To Say Goodbye

You will be sent a learning overview each half term so that you can see the topics, lessons and skills that we will be covering in more detail!

Children should be wearing their PE kits into school on Monday and Friday's for the whole of Autumn term. Please check the uniform policy if you are unsure.

Please continue to read with your child every night (10-15 minutes), fill in their reading record books and bring them back and forth to school every day.  Reading is a vital part of your child's education and so important for other aspects such as writing, spelling and oracy.

I will correspond with parents through SeeSaw, so if you have any queries or questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch via the school or SeeSaw.

Thanks again and I look forward to teaching Year 6 over the next year!

Home Learning

Even though specific homework is rarely set in Year 6, these are the areas that your child should be working on at home:

• Reading - This is the most important aspect of home learning.  Spending 15 minutes an evening reading improves your child's reading, writing, spelling and speaking skills.  We have a library in school where children should be taking books home and bringing them back EVERY DAY.  Please take the time to listen to your child read and ask them questions about what they are reading in school as well.

• Spellings - Each week, your child will have spellings to practise through Spelling Shed.  They each have an individual login to use and spelling are provided at their level of learning.  Please take a look at them and encourage your child to practise these in the house where they can.

• Times Tables - Your child can use a number of websites to help improve their times table knowledge.  These include:
  • Hit The Button
  • Top Marks Daily 10
  • Hwb - TTBlast
