Year 6

Welcome to Year 6, a memorable and transformative final year of primary school, grounded in love, courage, and friendship. As children prepare for the transition to secondary school, we help them develop resilience, independence, and pride in their achievements. They take on new roles, support younger pupils, and strengthen the friendships that have shaped their time in school. With courage in their learning, love in their actions, and friendship in their hearts, our Year 6 pupils leave ready for the exciting journey ahead.

Useful Information

Reading books

Please make sure reading books and records are in school EVERY day as children read to an adult throughout the week and this will be recorded in their reading diaries. Children have the opportunity to change their reading books on a Friday

PE

Most weeks, PE will take place on a Tuesday and Thursday. However, timetables may be changed or re-arranged so please ensure your child’s PE kit is in school each day just incase we find time for an extra session.

 PE Kit should include:

• Black shorts or tracksuit bottoms
• Plain white t-shirt or house colour t-shirt
• Plimsolls/trainers

Earrings need to be removed for PE (at home please), but if this is not possible please cover them with tape until they can be removed. Long hair also needs to be tied up.

Home learning

Each half term, the children will be sent home a selection of home learning linked to their project in school. We would like you to encourage your child in completing the Must Do Activities. You may also choose to encourage your child in challenging themselves and completing other activities suggested on the home learning sheet.

In order to prepare them for secondary school, Year 6 only will be set weekly Maths and English homework. This will normally be one page of each subject using the CGP workbooks. This will be set on a Friday and should be handed in by the following Wednesday. Any child who does not complete this will be invited to attend homework club on a Wednesday lunchtime.
