Welcome to Year 6!

Who's Who?

Miss Evetts - Class Teacher (Maternity Cover)

Ms Evans - Teaching Assistant (Monday-Wednesday)

Reading

Children should be reading regularly to an adult at home - a minimum of 3 times per week. Children are responsible for changing their own reading book at any suitable time throughout the week. Reading records are checked weekly and the number of times your child has read is noted down. Reading is rewarded with a reading certificate and gold coin after every 20th read. 

Homework

Year 6 children will take home a spelling sheet each Monday with their weekly spellings. They will be tested on these spellings the following Monday.

All children have access to Times Tables Rockstars and should be practicing for 10 minutes each day.

We highly encourage homework to be completed, as well as any extra homework given, in preparation for SATs.

PE 

PE lessons will take place every Monday afternoon. Children should come to school wearing their full PE kit (navy/black joggers or shorts, house colour/white t-shirt, and dark jogging top or blue school jumper). If children arrive in the wrong (or no) PE kit, they may be asked to change into a spare school PE kit.
