Welcome to the Year 6 class page! We are looking forward to an exciting and successful year together. Below you will find some important information about our routines and curriculum.

 

Homework will be given out every Wednesday and is due back the following Monday.

 

Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday. Please ensure that children have the correct kit in school on these days.

 

In reading, we will be exploring a wide array of high-quality texts. We will focus on developing fluency, vocabulary, inference, and retrieval skills, as well as answering all the content domain questions to prepare children for SATs and beyond.

 

In writing, we will study a range of texts and use them to inspire our own writing across different purposes and genres. This will include narratives, persuasive letters, formal reports, balanced arguments, poetry, diary entries, and non-chronological reports.

Should you wish for your child to walk home independently, please ask the school office for a consent letter. This must be completed before permission can be given.

 

In Year 6, we follow our three Diamond Rules:

 

1. Show respect and good manners at all times.

 

 

2. Follow instructions straight away with thought and care.

 

 

3. Care for everything and everyone.

 

 

 

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me in the morning, at the end of the school day, or via the school office. I look forward to working with you all and supporting the children to achieve their very best.

 

Thank you.

 

Kind regards,

Mr Anwar
