Year 6 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Year 6!

The class teacher this year are Miss Holmes and Mrs Nuttall (mornings) and the teaching assistants are Mrs Broadbelt and Mr Islam. We are looking forward to sharing an amazing year with you.

Please see our Autumn newsletter below to find out about our learning in more detail.

Routines of the day

The school doors open at 8:45am and the register is done at 8:55am. During this time children complete arithmetic problems to support their Mathematical understanding. 

Playtimes: 

Families can purchase toast and milk for children to have at this time, or alternatively, children can bring in a healthy snack to eat, such as fruit. 

Monday, Wednesday & Friday playtime times: 10:40-10:55

Tuesday & Thursday playtime times: 10:20-10:35 with the rest of KS2.

School finishes at 3:25pm and children in Year 6  are able to walk home ONLY if they have completed a permission letter. If your child is in an extra-curricular club, they will leave the school once the club finishes via the main door. 

Water bottles should be labelled and should only contain water (not juice).

We strongly encourage children to bring their book bags in everyday, which should contain their reading record and book. No backpacks please as this is a health and safety concern in the corridors.

Please ensure children come to school prepared for the weather with coats and if necessary hats, gloves, scarves etc.

Black school shoes please, not trainers only on PE days.

PE

PE lessons are taught twice a week. Children must wear their PE kits to school on Mondays and Tuesdays. 

PE Kit – trainers, black/green shorts and a green PE T-shirt with a logo, or black/navy/dark grey tracksuit bottoms or thick 
leggings. They should wear their school jumper over the top of their PE T-Shirt. Alternative hoodies are not allowed.

On days where children access an extra-curricular sports club, children are allowed to come to school wearing their PE kit.

Homework

Homework is listed on Google classrooms each Friday.  The children have homework books (handed out on Friday), which will contain 1-2 pieces of homework to complete for the following Thursday. 

If children do not return their homework book to school before Friday morning (with all homework completed), they will have to stay in during part of their lunchtime to complete the tasks. 

Children should read everyday for 20 minutes at home. 

It is important that children continue to engage in multiplication and division fact practice during the year. The easiest way of doing this is by accessing TTRockstars online - children's login details can be found inside their reading record.
