Dear Parents/Guardians,
A warm welcome to Y6. We know how exciting and also nerve-racking the last year in Primary School can be for both you and your child, so we want to support you in every way we can.
Thanks so much,
Our Year 6 teachers are Mrs Angel and Mr Joyeux
Our teaching assistants are Mrs Harrison and Miss Readman.

Homework
Homework will consist of weekly spellings to revise at home, daily reading and key maths skills practise, especially Times Tables.

Spelling
In Year 5/6, children are expected to be able to spell certain words. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with these words and carry out your weekly homework.
Reading
We can’t emphasis enough how important it is to read; you can unlock a whole world of imagination just by opening a book. We really promote reading for pleasure: we use a class rewards system to encourage and promote this even further. Whatever the genre, whether it’s non-fiction or fiction, comics, newspapers, adventure, science fiction – the list is endless – we love to know when you’re really enjoying a certain author or text and we ensure that our curriculum reflects the wealth of different texts, too.
