Welcome to Year 6

Teachers: Mrs Collins & Mrs Holliday

Teaching Assistants: Mrs Gibson, Mrs Hickman, Mrs Jones, Ms Champion and Mrs Rigg

Welcome to our Year 6 page. Our aim for this year is to continue to develop skills across the curriculum in a fun and exciting way and prepare all children for a smooth transition to secondary school. Each term we focus on a new exciting topic. Wherever possible, subject areas are linked to these topics to provide a cross curricular approach to learning. 

PE 

In Year 6, outdoor PE takes place on a Tuesday and indoor PE takes place on a Thursday. Please ensure your child comes into school wearing the correct kit on these days. 

Reading

We expect your child to read at home every night. Records will be checked every Friday. We encourage the children in Year 6 to indepdently write in their reading record but ask that once a week this is signed/checked by their adult at home. Children will be sent home with a colour book-banded book at their level allow them to practise the skill of reading. They are also encouraged to bring home a reading book for pleasure. Their reading choices can be a range of different  genres including novels, picture books, non fiction, poetry and magazines etc

Homework 

Homework in year 6 is given out on Fridays and returned on Wednesdays. We will be using the CGP books for the children's homework. The children will be given certain pages to complete each week of either their maths, comprehension or SPAG CGP book. Homework will increase in January to prepare the children for high school.
