Welcome to Year 6!

Welcome to the Year 6 class page! We are so excited to work with your children during this pivotal final year before they take the leap to high school. On this page, you will get to find out about all the exciting things that we are doing across all our Year 6 classes. There are three classes in Year 6:

• 6KE: Miss Evans
• 6KF: Mr Foster (Mondays and Tuesdays; Wednesday - Friday mornings) and Mrs Smith (Wednesday - Fridays afternoons)
• 6MTS: Mrs Threlfall-Smith
• Mrs Carroll (Monday - Thursday mornings)

Our classrooms are dynamic, welcoming places filled with a true passion for learning. We foster a cooperative, collaborative environment where pupils build essential teamwork skills alongside their growing independence. If you walk into any of our Year 6 classrooms, you will instantly feel the learning buzz!

Throughout the week, the children will have opportunities to work with different teachers and groups across the year group. This flexible approach helps them adapt to new dynamics and prepares them for the busier pace of Year 7.

Our Curriculum & Vision

In Year 6, we deliver a stimulating, challenging and broad curriculum designed to spark curiosity about the wider world. True to our school’s motto, our aim is to create brilliant citizens. We hold high aspirations for every pupil, striving to maximise their academic, social and emotional potential while keeping them firmly at the heart of everything we do.

Ask your child what they’ve been learning about today! They love sharing their achievements and showing off their growing knowledge.

Physical Education (PE)

PE is a vital part of the National Curriculum and all pupils are expected to take part each week. Here are our PE days:

• Thursday Morning: All Year 6 classes
• Monday: 6KE
• Tuesday: 6KF
• Friday: 6MTS

 PE Kit Guidelines

Children should come to school wearing their PE kit on their scheduled PE days:

• Plain white t-shirt
• Plain black shorts or tracksuit bottoms
• Plain black trainers
• Jewellery: Earrings must be removed or taped over for safety prior to the lesson.

 Note: If your child cannot participate due to a medical reason, please submit a doctor’s note directly to the main office. ClassDojo messages or written notes from home cannot be accepted for medical exemptions.

Homework & Daily Reading

Regular practice at home helps consolidate classroom learning and builds strong study habits for secondary school. Therefore, it is important that the children build this in as part of their routine.

Weekly Homework Schedule

• Set: Every Friday
• Due: Following Wednesday

Digital Homework Platforms

• Maths: MyMaths & Times Tables Rock Stars (Aim for 10–20 minutes daily)
• English: EdShed

 Daily Reading

Reading remains a high-priority focus across the school. Pupils are expected to read for 15–20 minutes every night to develop their fluency, expression and comprehension skills.

• Reading Books: Must be brought to school every single day.
• Reading Journals: Once a book is finished, parents/carers are kindly asked to encourage their child to complete an activity in their reading journal.
• Book Changes: To ensure deep understanding, the children will receive a new reading book after demonstrating that they have read and understood their current text.

Communication & Support

We value strong partnerships with our families and look forward to meeting new faces and catching up with familiar ones throughout the year.

• ClassDojo: We will continue using ClassDojo as our primary communication tool for quick updates and reminders.
• Letters & Curriculum Maps: Scroll down to the links section below to have a look at our welcome letter, curriculum map and more.
