Hello and Welcome to Year 6!
In Year 6, we are taught by Miss Hetherington, Miss Simpson and Mr Curd!
Autumn Term 2025
We are so excited to welcome you back to school!
Have a look at what we will be doing this term.
This term is full of exciting learning opportunities! In history, we will find out about Medicine Throughout the Ages – some of it is quite gory. In Science, we’ll dive into the world of living things and their habitats. Art classes will be all about exploring drawing and painting techniques and letting students get creative. In PE, we will be doing Athletics on a Tuesday and swimming on a Friday! During RE, students will explore the concepts of Justice and Freedom.

P.E.
This term, year 6’s PE slot is on a Tuesday afternoon.
Please make sure your child has a white PE top, blue PE shorts and trainers in school with them on this day.
We will be swimming on a Friday until Christmas and children should make sure they bring their swimming costume and towel into school every Friday.
Home Reader
It is expected for children to read at home every day.
Children should return their book to school daily, so they have the opportunity to read with adults in school. Please sign your child’s reading record book when they have read – a minimum of three times a week. When children have completed a book, they will be able to complete a quiz based on the book they have read. These results will be recorded in your child’s home reader. Points and prizes will be awarded for completing quizzes.
Children who are unable to read at home will be given the opportunity to read in school if books are not returned.
Please feel free to see us or write in your child’s Home-School Contact Book if there are any issues. It is essential that home and school communicate effectively, working together to ensure your child receives the very best from school.
All passwords are in your child’s reading record book.
