Welcome to Year 6

Hello and welcome to Year 6’s class page,

As we have a busy year ahead, we must stress the importance of good attendance and 
punctuality; missing lessons makes it very difficult for children to build on their 
learning. Should your child be absent, please inform the school on the first day of 
absence; then send a note for the register on the first day back. 

In order to ensure that all children are able to make the most of their right to learn, we 
will follow the School’s Behaviour for Learning Policy and the school rules – the 5 
Bes: Be Kind, Be Honest, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be the best you can!
Reading – We would like to take this opportunity to highlight the importance of children 
spending time reading at home; not only do good readers make better writers, but it is 
an essential life-skill for children. Children in Y6 should read for at least 30 minutes 
every evening.

Our PE lesson is on a Monday and Friday. Children should wear their PE kits to school. 
Kits (white t-shirt, dark shorts / tracksuit pants and plimsolls/trainers – everything MUST 
be labelled).

Homework is given to children in paper format every week. In addition, they can access 
maths tasks on MyMaths to support their learning. This will help to reinforce the 
learning in class and allow them to revisit any maths topics from year 3,4 or 5
