Welcome to Year 6!

The Year 6 teacher is Miss Penman-Saint - jpenmansaint@sjbos.thedcet.com

Mrs Burt is our Teaching Assistant, who will support us in Year 6 everyday. 

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

Thursday - Athletics

Friday - Rugby

These days are subject to change, so please ensure that your child has their PE kit in school at all times.

If your child does not have their PE kit in, they will be unable to take part.

Homework

Homework expectations for Year 6 - 

Homework will be given each Friday and must be handed in by the following Wednesday. This homework will include: maths, comprehension and SPaG. 

The expectation is that all children are to complete their homework each week. Homework links to class learning, so the children will have prior understanding of their work before completing it. If your child is finding their homework tricky, please speak to me straight away so that I can help, before the Wednesday it is due. 

If your child does not complete their homework, they will catch up with it during school time. Not only is homework important to help your child meet the Year 6 curriculum criteria, it also helps them prepare for the routines of secondary school, in which the amount of homework they receive will increase. Thank you for your support with this. 

Homework will change to daily homework from January, where the children will be given SATs CGP books. More information will be provided about this nearer the time. 

SATs - May 2027

Between Monday 10th May - Thursday 13th May 2027, all Year 6 children will be sitting their SATs exams. 

Monday 10th May - Spelling Test and SPaG Test

Tuesday 11th May - Reading Test

Wednesday 12th May - Arithmetic Test and Mathematical Reasoning Paper 1

Thursday 13th May - Mathematical Reasoning Paper 2

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, always 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!
