Welcome to Year 6
Welcome to our Year 6 class page.
Curriculum Overview
A Typical Day
The school day starts at 8.45am and children independently complete a short morning task linked to English or Maths. Our mornings generally focus on Spelling, Writing and Maths, and our Wider Curriculum is planned for an afternoon.
Cool Milk subscriptions for children aged 5+ can be set up via school office. We have 2 break times; one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Roles & Responsibilities
In Year 6, children vote for their house captains and they assist in running house events throughout the year. Each half term, pupils can also apply for assigned roles and responsibilities in the every day life of the school. Four children have the opportunity, each term, to become part of our Leading Lights team and these pupils work closely with Mrs Besharati to work together to make improvements to our school and community. Children earn responsibilty coins for their work and these are converted to house points each week.
Staff
Miss Holtom, Class Teacher
Miss Clements and Mrs Rushworth also work in our class.
In the first and last half term, we take the children swimming at Ripon pool.
Year 6 SATs
We hold a parents information evening during the Autumn term to provide information to parents about what the SATs entail and how you can best support your child with their preparations for them. In the Spring term, parents also have the opportunity to take part in a SATs workshop with their children. We run SATs booster clubs throughout the year.
