WELCOME TO YEAR 6 2025 - 2026

Class Teacher: Mrs Jo Ward, supported by Mr Adam Bickerdike

Year 6 will also be taught by Mrs Wilton on Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings.

Reading Homework:

Please help your child to read every day at home.

Reading homework is set by the teacher every week on Tuesday. Children need to complete the reading and comprehension questions in the reading journal provided and bring it back to school ready for the following Tuesday. Please support your child to be organised in completing and handing in their homework.

Library Day:

Y6's library day is Wednesday.

TTRockstars:

It is essential that children have times tables facts at their fingertips in order to access the Y6 Maths curriculum and beyond! Our KIRF (Key Instant Recall Facts) focus in HT1 is all multiplication and division facts up to 12 x 12. We have TTRockstars tournaments set each Tuesday to encourage this.

PE Lessons:

Year 6 have PE on Tuesday and Thursday each week. Please ensure that your child comes to school in the correct PE kit on these days. Children who have long hair must ensure it is tied back and earrings (studs/sleepers only)must be removed or covered with plasters.

Acceptable PE kit:

• blue/black shorts or jogging bottoms
• white t-shirt
• running trainers
• blue/black sweatshirt or hoodie for outdoors

SATS week:
