Welcome to the Year 6 class page

YEAR 6 STAFF:  Mr Davies, Mrs. Brisley, Mrs. Davies

Welcome to the Autumn Term in Year 6! I am delighted with the way the children have returned to school. The welcome back has been fantastic, and it is clear they are excited for the year ahead. As this is their final year of primary school, I am determined to make it a memorable one together.

Our Topic – Origins

This term, our learning will be centred around the theme of Origins. Pupils will explore fascinating questions about where things come from, including people, places, and ideas, through a variety of subjects and activities. We look forward to sharing our discoveries and celebrating creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking along the way. Pupils have already come up with some interesting questions they would like to explore during our EPIC (Everyone Planning In Class) planning session.

Routines & Reminders

PE takes place every Tuesday. As part of our Health and Wellbeing provision, we will also make use of Coed Cadno to support outdoor learning and physical activity.

Spellings will be given out every Wednesday, with opportunities for pupils to practise in school and at home. I will update our Google classroom with these spellings weekly.

We ask that you encourage your child to read regularly and explore a variety of texts at home. Consistent reading has a significant impact on both confidence and progress across the curriculum. Pupils may borrow a book from school each week or choose one of their own from home.

Year 6 is such a special time, with lots of new challenges, exciting opportunities and memories to be made. The pupils have already shown that they are ready to give their best, and I’m really looking forward to working together to make this a great start to their final year in primary school.

I will continue to keep you updated with any important information, but if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to come and speak to me directly. Key dates and reminders will also be shared via Weduc and the calendar on the homepage of our wesbite. If you haven’t already downloaded the school app, I would strongly encourage you to do so, as it is a quick and convenient way for us to communicate with you.

Home Learning Menu – Autumn Term

I am excited to share the Home Learning Menu with you this term. Children can complete their home learning tasks and have the opportunity to present and share their work with the class.

First sharing date: Friday 3rd October. Then every two weeks until the end of term – 3rd Oct / 17th Oct / 7th Nov / 21st Nov / 5th Dec / 19th Dec

This is a wonderful chance for pupils to celebrate their learning, build confidence in presenting, and enjoy seeing each other’s ideas.

Kindest regards,

Mr. Davies
