Year 6
Welcome to Year 6!
I hope that you have all had a wonderful summer and are as excited as we are to be back at school for the new year!
Miss Clack-Walsh & Mrs Barnett
There are a few changes to school this year, so here are some reminders:
- Please make sure that you have a clearly named water bottle in school everyday.
- On days that we have PE (Tuesday and Friday), please only send in PE trainers as children will not be changing for PE.
- When you arrive at school, please line up on the yellow footsteps outside the classroom and keep a safe distance from other children.
Homework:
- Reading – Please make sure you are reading every day and that your diary is signed by an adult.
- Spellings - Children will bring home new spellings on a Monday and be tested the following Monday. Please make sure that your spelling books are in school each week.
- English & Maths - 1 page will be set each day and this will alternate English & Maths.
- Times Tables - 1 page will be set on a Monday and should be completed by the following Monday. Please make sure your times tables books are in school each week.
- Home Learning Project - There are lots of exciting activities set for you here, so get creative and let your imagination run wild!
Values and Virtues: Curious and Active
RE
This term we will be exploring some of the Church’s beliefs about Blessed Virgin Mary and the feasts that are celebrated in her honour. The children will consider why her role in the life od Christ was so important. They will also learn about Mary and the saints being united with Christ in heaven. They will explore devotions and prayers in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints.
