Year 6
Friday 26th September
Firstly, a big thankyou to everyone who came to our parent information session on Wednesday. It was lovely to meet you all. Information is on the parent tab of our year group pages.
The children have continued to settle well into the new routines and new expectations in Year 6 and we are super proud of them all.
In Maths, we have been consolidating our understanding of place value by multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 1000 and also rounding any integer to the nearest multiple of 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000. These building blocks of maths are important skills that allow children to manipulate with numbers and become more confident when learning new concepts!
In English, the children have already completed some fantastic descriptive poetry (many are on display in frames in the Year 5/6 corridor) and started a newspaper report using emotive language - while sticking to a word count! It has been quite a challenge!
Our first PE block has come to an end already - the children have had 6 handball sessions (3 with Mr Tanner and 3 with their class teacher) culminating in some pretty fiercely competitive matches on Friday! Well done to them all for show great sportsmanship and patience!
A reminder that school photographs (individual and siblings) will be taking place on Monday October 6th and that Wednesday 30th September is a non-pupil day.
Have a great weekend!
The Year 6 team.
Welcome to the Year 6 blog. Once a fortnight, we will be share the link to the latest edition of our blog, where we share our learning, upcoming important dates and useful information!
Thursday 3rd September - Welcome to Year 6!
A very quick 'hello' from the Year 6 team, and some (hopefully) useful information for the first term back. We hope you have had a restful break - we are very much looking forward to welcoming you all to your new classrooms!
PE days this year will be on Tuesdays and Fridays. On these days, please come to school in your PE kits (with warmer layers for the colder days as we will be outdoors as much as possible!).
Please make sure that permissions (walk-home and photography) and medical/dietary information is up-to-date through your MCAS app. For safeguarding reasons, we will be unable to let your child leave the classroom at the end of the day or after a club (these are separate permissions) without your consent through the app. If you are having difficulties with the app, please come and see either your class teacher, or ask at the office. We will be happy to help!
There will be a parent information session in a few weeks which will cover Year 6 expectations, SATs, residential and more, so please keep an eye out for an app message regarding time and date.
We look forward to meeting you!

Autumn Term 1 Geography Schema
In Year 6, home learning will be set every Friday. We encourage children to set good habits around homework in order to help consolidate their learning, and to prepare them for secondary school. Reminders are posted in Teams, as well as here, and always follow the same structure:
- Maths consolidation tasks set on Anton (paper and pencil will still be needed)
- Spelling rules set on Spelling Frame (additional ideas for how to practise spelling words can be found below)
Please see the 'useful websites' tab above for links to the websites. Your child has been given their log in details which can be found in their reading records. Sometimes, these tasks are personalised for your child, and sometimes they are set for the whole year group.
If your child is not able complete the home learning at home (for example, due to a lack of time/internet/devices), we hold 2 lunchtime sessions each week where children can use one of the school chromebooks. If your child is finding the content of the homework tricky, please encourage them to let us know.
In addition to weekly homework, 15-30 minutes of daily reading and 3-5 minutes of Times Tables Rock Stars daily, would be fantastic!
Home Learning set Friday/Saturday 26th September:
This is on Anton (rounding practice - we have been doing this in class so this is consolidation) and Spelling Frame (it's homophones week, so learning the meanings of these different spellings is super important!).
Home Learning - set Friday 11th September
This year's residential will take place in June 2027. More information will be shared at the parent information evening in September and will be available here soon.
