Welcome to the Year 6 class page

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

After a busy and successful Autumn Term, we are now stepping into an exciting new year. Happy 2026! The countdown is on for an amazing seven months before the big move to Olchfa. As this is their final year in primary school, we will continue to make it a memorable and rewarding experience together. We have a great term ahead starting with our new topic – Global Goals!

Our Topic – Global Goals

This term, our learning will be centred around Global Goals. Pupils will explore how these goals aim to make the world a fairer, healthier, and more sustainable place. Through a variety of subjects and activities, we’ll investigate big questions such as how we can protect our planet, reduce inequality, and promote well-being for all. Our EPIC (Everyone Planning In Class) session always sparks fantastic ideas, and we look forward to sharing our discoveries while celebrating creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking along the way.

Home Learning Menu – Spring 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 16th Jan. Then every two weeks until the end of term – Friday 30th Jan / Friday 12th Feb / Friday 26th Feb / Friday 11th March / Friday 25th March.

Here are some of the links from our home learning menu to help with these tasks.

More Presentation Ideas – Student Resources – United Nations Sustainable Development

Quiz – https://www.wwf.org.uk/learn/love-nature/wildlife-quiz-primary

Energy Saving – Why do we need to save energy? – BBC Bitesize

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

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.

Please encourage your child to read often and explore different types of books at home. Regular reading can really boost their confidence and help them make progress in all areas of learning. Pupils can borrow a book from school each week or pick one from home. This term, we’re planning to make regular trips to Killay Library so they can borrow even more books.

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 website. 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.

Kindest regards,

Mr. Davies
