Welcome to Year 6

Welcome to Year Six! 

We hope all the children have had a fantastic summer break and are ready for the exciting term ahead!  

We have lots of interesting learning and challenges to look forward to.

In Year 6 the children will be taught by the Year 6 team which is as follows

Monday - Mrs Farmer, Miss Moore

Tuesday - Mrs Farmer, Miss Moore

Wednesday - Mrs Farmer, Miss Moore

Thursday - Mrs Kay, Miss Moore

Friday - Mrs Kay, Miss Moore

Children will be provided with all of the equipment they will need in class, however if your child would like to bring their own pencil case they are welcome to. We would ask that it is a small pencil case. Children will need to bring their reading folder, lunch and a bottle of water to drink during the day.  All belongings should be clearly labelled (including all items of uniform).

P.E. lessons will take place every Tuesday and Wednesday. We would ask that on these days, children come to school dressed in their PE kit with their school jumper or cardigan.  P.E. kit should consist of plain navy/black shorts or jogging bottoms (in colder weather), the school PE top and trainers and pumps. Please make sure that these items are clearly labelled.

Homework will be set every Monday and is to be completed and returned the following Monday.  Homework in Year 6 is a crucial element in preparing the children for the sats, therefore we ask for your full parental support. Your child should also continue to practise their times tables and spellings throughout the year. It is very important that your child reads every single day at home, exploring new vocabulary and discussing what they have read. This should be recorded daily on Boom Reader. 

Our first Geography topic is called 'Why does population change?' We will learn about the impact that climate change is having on the world's population and how the population is impacting the environment.  

In Science we will be learning about ‘Living Things and Their Habitats’.

In RE we will be preparing for and learning about the sacrament of confirmation, this will take place in November (further information to follow via

Class dojo).

Your child can access a range of learning activities from home using Purple Mash (https://www.purplemash.com/login/) and Times Table Rockstars (https://ttrockstars.com/).  If you require the login details for your child then please get in touch and we will be happy to provide you with a copy.  Each child will have a login to a Year 6 online resource Learning by Questions. 

We are excited for the year ahead with the children. In the meantime if you have any queries or concerns then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you in advance for your support this year.

Yours faithfully,

 Mrs Farmer, Mrs Kay, Miss Moore
