Who is in Year 6?
The Year 6 Team: Miss Hunt, Mrr Cartledge and Mrs Maitland.
Year 6 is a busy one as we prepare for SATs in May. However, it is still a year where there will be lots of fun with lessons in all areas of the curriculum continuing.
Part of our role is to prepare you ready for your transition to High School so we encourage you to be more independent and responsible for your own learning whilst guiding you to make wise choices. There will be the opportunity for you to take on school responsibilities and be role models for others in school.
Learning in Year 6
Our PE day is a Thursday and you must be wearing school PE kit on this day. Your reading book needs to be in school every day. Please bring a water bottle into school.
Please see below to know what you will be learning during your time in Year 6.
Homework
Reading - Reading is an essential life skill. Please read your at least 4 times per week (at least 10 pages) and discuss what you have read including words that you didn't understand with an adult at least once a week. These reads need to be logged in reading records. Additionally, you can complete at least two Reading Plus/Lexia assignments at home. This will be checked each Friday.
Maths - It is vital that you keep practising your timestables so that you know all of these off by heart. Make sure you go on TT Rockstars to play your allocated games each week (25 minutes) and try to be the TT Rockstars Champion! This will be checked each Monday.
