Welcome toYear 6

Welcome back after what we hope was a relaxing Christmas break. Happy New Year to you all. We hope that you have had a lovely Christmas and that the children are looking forward to getting stuck into their learning.

The Year 6 Team are looking forward to another exciting term, which will provide a lot of new learning experiences as we focus more on the SATs that lie ahead.

For more information about our learning this term, please see our Curriculum Overview.

We look forward to an extremely productive 2025!

Thematic

Our thematic units are cross-curricular, covering all the traditional subjects as well as more contemporary areas of study such as sustainability and well-being. Our first theme this term will be, ‘Wars of the World’.

P.E

PE days are as follows:

Class 13 – Wednesday and Thursday

Class 14 – Tuesday and Thursday

(Please remember to have your outdoor PE kit consisting of: jogging bottoms, outdoor trainers and a jumper/jacket. Also a reminder that jewellery must not be worn during PE lessons.)

Homework

The daily completion of reading diaries are still expected to a high standard and we also need to continue to use the ‘Reading Eggs’ online resource on a consistent basis to improve our reading and comprehension skills.

The children now all have CGP revision books as preparation for the upcoming SATs in May and these books cover all areas of learning that are vital for your child’s learning. Pages will be set each week and must be completed and brought into school daily. Failure to do so will result in your child completing the work during break times or lunch times. We would also encourage you to listen to your child read and ask them questions based on what they have read to ensure understanding. Children are expected to complete a task in their reading journals at least once weekly.
