Focus for the year ahead

In Year 6, the dedication to your child’s education at home,

as well as in school is of paramount importance. As towards the

end of Year 6, your child will be taking part in the National tests which are set by the

Government, to assess your child’s progress and attainment in Reading and Numeracy. These

tests are important for your child. Therefore, it is imperative that together we give your

child the best opportunity for the next stage in their education. We do ask that at home

your child completes homework consistently. This is a challenge for all children, but teaches

them essential skills to prepare them for the Secondary School and beyond. If your child

works hard at school and at home, together we will be able to give your child the best

possible chance to succeed to their full potential.

Attendance in school will lead to success this year. If your child is ill, we ask that they catch

up on the work missed as extra homework, as they will not have a chance to revisit missed

work during the school day.

Although this year is full of challenges, some quite difficult, there are so many positives and

rewards for hard work when we get to the Summer Term. There is our exciting residential

trip, prom celebrations, other trips out and many more exciting rewards in return for your

child’s hard work.

Pupils’ opinions being taken into

consideration.

P.E. Kit P.E. is a compulsory part of the curriculum

and a chart is used to record those who do

not participate / forget their kit. It is

important that a proper school P.E. kit

(black shorts, white top & trainers) are

brought to school every Friday. If a kit is

not brought then the office rings home to

see if a kit can be brought in. Alternatively

a shared school kit will be provided.

Times Tables Rock Stars This year, the children have been

taking part in short times tables

activities online, Could you please

encourage this practice at home so

that children can continue to build on

improving their knowledge of

multiplication tables. Please ask for

your child’s login details if required.

The year ahead

I hope everyone has an

enjoyable summer break.

September will be the start of

a very exciting and busy year

for the children which will be

jam packed with lots of

interesting and fun activities.

Year 6 will begin the Autumn

term by learning about the

changing state of materials

including solids, liquids and

gases in our interesting theme

called ‘Potions’. We aim to

create our own cupcake

recipes and designs, with a

view to selling these just

before/after the half term

holiday. I look forward to

getting to know the children

better and I am sure that

they are going to be very

successful at all we try to

achieve.

After School Clubs During the Autumn term there will

be a wide variety of different after

school activities available to the

pupils in year 6. A good range of

indoor and outdoor clubs mean that

the children have plenty of

opportunities for developing skills

further.
