Our Year 6 Team

Class Teacher: Mrs Moon

Class Teaching Assistant: Mrs Wilde

A very warm welcome to our Year 6 class page! We are so excited for the year ahead and all the opportunities, challenges and adventures that Year 6 will bring.

In Year 6, we are encouraged to become confident, independent learners who are ready to take on new challenges. We follow our three Golden Rules every day:

Be Ready
Be Respectful
Be Safe

General Information

Year 6 is a very special year as the children continue to grow, develop their independence and prepare for the exciting step to secondary school.

Throughout the year, we will build on the knowledge and skills the children have developed across Key Stage 2 whilst encouraging them to think for themselves, take responsibility and challenge themselves. We will learn about the world around us, celebrate our successes and support one another along the way.

The children will also continue to develop the key skills and knowledge they need in preparation for their KS2 SATs. However, Year 6 is about so much more than tests! We want the children to enjoy their final year of primary school, make wonderful memories, discover what they are capable of and leave us feeling proud and ready for their next adventure.

Our class will be taught by Mr Ashton on a Friday as this is Mrs Moon's non-working day.

We will aim high, work together, have fun and let our light shine!

Homework

Homework will be set each week in line with our school homework policy. Children will usually receive a a homework menu where they will have a choice of activtity as well as spellings, times tables and daily reading. Homework may occasionally be adapted depending on the needs of the class or as we get closer to SATs.

Homework will normally be set on a Wednesday and handed in on the following Tuesday. Children will have a homework book to complete their work.

Reading is an important part of Year 6 and children are expected to read every day. Reading regularly will help children to develop their vocabulary, comprehension and confidence as readers.

As we move closer to SATs, homework expectations may change to reflect the children's needs. Further information about revision and preparation will be shared with parents at the appropriate time.

PE

Our PE days are Monday and Friday. Please see the school uniform policy for information about PE kit.

Children may come to school wearing their PE kit on PE days. Any jewellery must be removed before PE and long hair should be tied back.

If children would like to freshen up after PE, they may bring appropriate hygiene products into school. Please do not send aerosols — roll-on deodorant is acceptable.

Our PE days may change throughout the year so please check Class Dojo for the most up-to-date information. 

OPAL Play

As well as PE, the children have access to OPAL during both break and lunchtime. This gives them the opportunity to take part in a wide range of activities, including role play, den building, the dig pit, scooters, organised ball games, small world play and much more.

To make the most of OPAL, children should have wellies and waterproof clothing in school. Please make sure everything is clearly labelled with your child's name.

A bag should also be provided so that wet or muddy clothing can be stored appropriately.

Communications

Class Dojo will be our main method of communication for class and school updates.

You are always welcome to speak to a member of staff briefly at drop-off or pick-up. However, if you would like to discuss something in more detail, please arrange a convenient time with me or contact the school office.

This allows us to give your child our full attention at the beginning and end of the school day whilst ensuring we have enough time to properly discuss anything you would like to raise.

This page will be updated throughout the year with useful information, reminders and updates.

We hope you find our Year 6 class page useful. If you have any questions or need any support throughout the year, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
