Summer 2024
Welcome back to school!
We hope you all enjoyed a lovely break over Easter! Many thanks for all your support during the Spring Term; the children really did work their socks off last term and you should be very proud.
It is hard to believe that Y6 have reached their last term at our school! We’ve got a busy time ahead with SATs and Confirmation and I know that the time will fly! As part of their preparations for Confirmation, this term the children will be busy researching the lives of saints to select the name of a saint who will inspire them in their future lives.
This term we will also be preparing the children with their transition to their new high schools. This is a big step for them and we will make sure that they are ready for the new challenges ahead as they begin this exciting new chapter in September.
We will continue to be teaching a variety of different subjects in Y6 and the children will enjoy a full and rich curriculum. We will continue to read our class novel, ‘The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas’ by John Boyne, which the children have thoroughly enjoyed so far. They have been an excellent class and are wonderful role models for the younger children of our school. We’ll all be very sorry to see them leave! Here is a taster of just some of the things we will be learning:
Literacy
- Free verse poetry
- Persuasive Writing
- Narrative story with flashbacks
- Diary entries
Maths
- Mental addition and subtraction, multiplication and division
- Perimeter, area and volume
- Statistics
- Angles
- Properties of shapes
- Position and direction
- Revision of all mathematical concepts

Spring 2024
Welcome back to school!
We hope you all enjoyed a fantastic Christmas and hope that 2024 is a great year for you and your families! Many thanks for all your support during the last term, the children worked really hard and did work to be proud of.
So, what’s new this term? Stanley Head of course! You will shortly be receiving the final consent and medical form. Please ensure that all money and forms are returned by the dates we have specified. A suggested kit list has also been sent to you, suffice to say that the children should be equipped with suitable winter outdoor clothing! We will have a FANTASTIC time but expect them to get wet and very dirty during the week so old clothes are definitely the best ones to pack!
This term we turn to preparation for SATS. It is really important that the children complete their homework to the best of their ability and return them on the day specified. They can have a little longer than the time specified if they need it but we would suggest that this is no more than 1 hour per paper. On Mondays (English) and Fridays (Maths) we will mark the papers with the children addressing any questions thoroughly that may have found difficult. The children will bring these marked papers home for revision.
Here is a taster of just some of the things we will be learning:
Literacy
- Balanced Argument
- Persuasive Writing
- Biography
- Explanation Text
- Formal Letter
Maths
- Fractions, decimals and percentages
- Mental addition and subtraction, multiplication and division
- Perimeter, area and volume
- Units of measurement
- Algebra
- Ratio and proportion
