Year 6

Your teachers for this year are:

6W Sequoia - Mrs C Weston and Miss G Hill

6J Redwood - Miss C Jukes and Mrs S Mace

We are all very excited to be working with you and we will be guiding you through an enriching and engaging curriculum. Our goal in class is to foster a positive and supportive environment where you are encouraged to explore, ask questions and grow both academically and personally.

Throughout the year, we will be learning about a variety of subjects, working on collaborative projects and developing important skills such as critical thinking, communication and creativity. We believe that you are all unique and our key principles of respect, reflection, resilience and responsibility will ensure that you thrive and reach your full potential, both in our school and beyond.

Parents - we are committed to keeping you informed about your child's progress and we are always available to discuss any questions or concerns, on the playground, before or after school. Equally, you can email us on the Year 6 email and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

We look forward to a wonderful year with you all and we will make many memories together. 

Warm regards,

The Year 6 team!

Termly Overview

How to support your child at home

We value the support you provide your child in enhancing their learning. It is important that your child is given the opportunity to apply what they have learnt in a different environment in order for their knowledge and skills to become embedded.

 

You can support your child at home by:

• Listening to them read regularly. This can be their stage book, library book or any book at home. We ask that each child reads at least three times per week for a minimum of ten minutes and that their reading record is signed by an adult.
• Asking your child comprehension questions based on the text they have read. 
• Getting your child to practise their times tables (TT Rockstars).
• Getting your child to practise their spellings. Every child has a spelling log with weekly spellings set. Children should use their logs to practise their spellings each day.
• Making sure your child completes their weekly homework on MyMaths. Homework is based on learning from the week. 
• Exposing children to real life learning e.g. money, time, measurement.
