Year 6 2023 - 2024

“We Share, We Value, We Respect”

Dear Parents/Carers,

I would like to wish you and your children a very warm welcome back after the summer holidays. I hope you and your families had an enjoyable and relaxing summer break, ready for the upcoming academic year. Year 6 is a very exciting year and there are many enjoyable activities to look forward to.

In conversations this week with the class, it is very apparent that the children are very much looking forward to Robinwood. This educational visit is scheduled for November 22nd, 23rd  and 24^th. You will have received information about Robinwood previously, with more to come nearer the time.

PE will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays. PE kits are required to be in school and stay in school throughout the term.  Please ensure that all items of school uniform are labelled with your child’s name.

As you will be aware, reading is a vital element of the primary curriculum and it is the school’s aim to promote a love of books and literature. With that in mind, time each week will be dedicated to reading for pleasure. Therefore, children are welcome and encouraged to bring a book in from home or to borrow one from the school library (that will stay in school until it is finished) to read purely for pleasure.

Homework will be set online each week. I will explain more about this during the ‘meet the teacher’ sessions next week.

Spelling tests will take place on a Thursday. Spelling lists will be put on google classroom and the school website at the start of each term. Each half term children will be given a project to complete linked to topics we are doing in class.

Learning plans, spellings and project information will be uploaded onto google classroom and the school website.

Each day children need a coat, water bottle and book bag. Children can also bring a healthy snack for breaktime if they wish. Unfortunately, large bags are not permitted as we simply do not have the cloakroom space to store them.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding your child, please feel free to contact me via the school office and I will contact you as soon as possible

I look forward to meeting many of you next week at the ‘meet the teacher’ session.

God bless,

Mr Webster
