Welcome to Year 6 

Teacher - Miss Rimmer

Teaching Assistant - Mrs Bennett

Welcome to the Year 6 class page. Here you’ll find all the key information you need for your child’s final year at primary school. Year 6 is a special and important year as the children prepare to make the exciting transition to secondary school. To help them get the very best out of their learning and opportunities, it’s vital that they are in school every day and arrive on time. If your child is unwell, please contact the school office to let us know of their absence.

P.E

P.E. lessons will take place every Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child has a labelled P.E. kit bag in school. The kit should remain in school until the end of each half term, when it will be sent home to be washed.

The P.E. kit consists of:

• A blue P.E. t-shirt

• Black or blue shorts

• Black P.E. pumps

Reading

Reading is at the heart of learning and regular practice at home makes a big difference to children’s progress. We use Reading Plus, which can also be accessed for homework and children will bring home a reading book every Monday to be returned by Thursday. Please ensure that your child records their reading in their green journal and that it is signed each week. Working together in this way helps to build fluency, confidence and a lifelong love of reading.

Homework

Homework in Year 6 will focus on supporting the key skills needed for success. Each week, children are 
expected to read regularly at home, both from their chosen reading book and through Reading Plus online. They will also practise arithmetic to strengthen their fluency with number facts and written methods. In addition, our homework menu, which offers a range of creative and topic-based activities, is available on the school webpage for families to access and enjoy together.
