Year 6

Who are we?

Our names are Ms. Steele and Mr. White we are the Year Six teachers. Miss. Bailey, Mrs. Hutchinson and Mrs. Land are our teaching assistants and will be working with individuals and groups of children throughout the year.  Mr. White will teach Monday to Wednesday and Ms. Steele Thursday to Friday. 

Reading!

In Year Six we love to read! We start each day with a reading session, where we build and deepen our understanding of different content domains. Reading with your child are often as possible is very beneficial and essential for progress. Your child will have opportunity to change their books in schools, linked to their reading age. 

P.E.

The children will be doing PE on a Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on these days. For health and safety reasons, your child should not wear jewelry on these days, especially earrings. Due to weather, PE lessons may be indoors or outdoors and this can change regularly. 

Homework

Homework is set every Friday. This will include our weekly spelling patterns and words that the children will then be tested on the following week. There is also an expectation that children reading daily and practice their times tables daily. In the wider curriculum, your child will be provided with their knowledge organiser that gives children all of the essential knowledge they must have to deepen their understanding in school. Additional work will be sent in Year Six to support SATS preparation.

If you have any questions about this year, then please do not hesitate to ask us, we are more than happy to help on any matter big or small!
