St Joseph'sCatholic Primary & Nursery School
Year 6
Welcome to Year 6!
The Year 6 teacher is Miss Penman-Saint - jpenmansaint@sjbos.thedcet.com
Mrs Burt and Mrs Martin-Hall will also support us in Year 6.
Mrs Cooper will teach us on a Wednesday afternoon, to cover Miss Penman-Saint's PPA time.
Reading
In Year 6, we aim to listen to each child read once every two weeks.
It is really important to listen to your child read at home regularly.
PE
Monday - Gymnastics
Friday - Dance
If your child does not have their PE kit in, they will be unable to take part.
Homework - From January 2026, Year 6 homework is changing to daily homework. Please see the letter below to find out what task needs to be completed each day. If a day is missed, the children will be expected to catch up with it during playtime the following day.
SATs - May 2026
In May 2026, the Year 6 children will be sitting their SATs exams.
They will have one spellings paper, one SPAG paper, one reading paper, one arithmetic test and two reasoning papers.
We will work hard for these during the year, to make sure that we are prepared and will do the best that we can.
We will take part in daily maths and English lessons, alongside daily arithmetic, SPAG and reading activities too.
By taking part in these lessons, completing their weekly homework, and putting in 100% effort, your child will fly in Year 6 and I know they will make us all proud!
