Year 6 - Blwyddyn 6
Meet the Teacher
Welcome to the Year 6 Noticeboard
A lovely end to the Spring term - a retelling of the Easter story, an Easter egg hunt with our buddies, a rugby festival and an opportunity to watch the film Holes after reading the novel.
Reminders
Please label all school items. PE kit is a white T-Shirt, black shorts/ leggings and their school jumper. Children should come to school dressed in their kit on the days we have PE (Monday Y6SW and Tuesday both classes).
We are also a “nut free” school, so please remember this when preparing snacks, as some dried fruit snacks contain nuts.
If you have any further questions or concerns at any time, please do not hesitate to get in touch. You can do this by telephone, dojo or email.

Home Learning
Reading
Year 6 children are expected to read daily at home and log their reading journal at least three times a week. We kindly ask that parents/guardians sign the reading journal once a week to help us monitor their progress. Each child has a designated reading day. Please see the inside of your child's reading journal to see which day your child's journal is due. Please see the below infographic on why reading every day is so important. If you need any advice on how to support the development of reading or book recommendations that are appropriate for your child.
If your child is part of the 'Nessy' or 'Reading Eggs' group, both of these platforms are able to be accessed at home for further practice.
Maths, Spelling and Grammar
All maths, times tables, spelling and grammar homework will be set via SumDog. Homework will be linked to the topics we have covered in school and help us to identify any misconceptions.
Other Homework
Occasionally, we will set other, optional homework for Year 6 children to complete. Please keep an eye on ClassDojo for more information on this.
