Year Six - Class 6L 2024 - 2025

Welcome to 6L

Our class teacher is Mr Grant.

Our teaching assistant is Miss Green.

Across Year 6 we will also work with: Mr Biggs,  Mrs Burns and Miss Irwin.

Things to remember in Year 6:

Monday:

Bookbags will be sent home with books changed for the week, they are due back in on Friday. Reading should take place three times a week (little and often) and reading records signed and dated.

Spellings for the week will go out on a Monday and will be tested on Friday.

Thursday: Miss Green takes our class on a Thursday Afternoon covering PPA for Mr Grant.

Friday: This is our PE day. On our P.E day children are to come into school in their P.E. kit. They will wear their kit for the duration of the day.  

Friday: Homework and reading to be completed and handed in.

Homework will be set on a Monday and due in the following Friday. This gives children the opportunity to complete homework over a week long period.

Homework will be set on SATS companion and will be made up of two pieces of English and two pieces of maths homework.

SATs companion was used for homework in Year 5, so children should be familiar with how it works.

Any homework not completed by Friday, will be complted in class during break/lunch time on that day. 

User names and logins will be updated and sent out at the start of the year. Later in the year, after Christmas, grammar, reading and maths work books will be sent home to complete as homework in the run up to SATs.  

Weekly times table test and spelling test will take place on a Friday. 

Attendance: Our target for this year is 96.0%.

Punctuality: Every morning from 8:40am - 8.55am we have maths morning challenges. It is incredibly important that your child is in promptly and on time to allow them the opportunity to complete our morning challenge and deepen their understanding of maths concepts.

Communication: Please join up to our class Seesaw page, where we post key information and share letters and announcements from the school. Through the Seesaw app, we will also be sharing your child's learning as the year progresses.

Entrance and exit point: Gate leading onto the school field, next to the school MUGA, leading onto Welfield Avenue.
