Welcome to Year 6
Our teachers this year are:

Year 6 is a significant and exciting stage in your child’s education.
While it is a year that brings both hard work and new challenges, we are committed to providing the guidance, encouragement, and support needed to help every child thrive. Our goal is to nurture each pupil’s potential, empowering them to achieve their very best and to approach the next stage of their learning with confidence.
Please keep up to date with everything that is happening in all classes on this page or via Class Dojo.
(If you don't have the code please speak to Mrs. Gibson, Miss. Jones or Mrs. Bellanti who will be able to give you your child's individual code.).
Please don't hesitate to make an appointment to speak to your child's class teacher if you have any questions.
English and Maths
Both core subjects will be taught in their class by the class teacher, who will be supported by the teaching assistant.
Homework
Reading Books.
We kindly ask that all children bring their reading book and reading record to school every day. Regular reading is essential for developing fluency and comprehension, enabling pupils to access a broader and more challenging curriculum with confidence.
Reading books are changed weekly. Please either read with your child or encourage them to read independently for at least 20 minutes each time. Encouraging children to read a wide range of books is important – any reading is better than no reading at all.
You can support your child at home by listening to them read, discussing the story together, and encouraging them to share their understanding. The children may also be asked to read to an adult during the school day.
This partnership between home and school is vital in nurturing a lifelong love of reading and supporting your child’s academic success.
PE Kits.
Children have PE once a week. Please ensure that all children have the correct PE kit- which comprises of plain white T.Shirt, plain black leggings/joggers, plain black hoody/jacket and plain black trainers .
PE lessons are on Fridays each week.
SOME PE WILL BE OUTDOORS - PLEASE ENSURE CHILDREN HAVE SUITABLE CLOTHING IN THEIR KIT.
(THIS MUST INCLUDE TRAINERS AND A WARM JACKET).
Some children will also need a change of clothes for Forest School and outdoor learning during the course of the year, you will be informed if your child is taking part in Forest School.
Don't forget that PE kit needs to be worn for any after school sport clubs too, so must be available for those.
