Class 6
Welcome to Our Year Six Class Page!
Welcome back to the final term of Year 6! We hope you have all enjoyed a restful half-term break and are ready for an exciting and memorable Term 6.
This term, we will continue to build on the excellent progress made throughout the year. As we approach the end of primary school, our focus will be on developing confidence, independence and resilience, while celebrating all that the children have achieved. We have lots of engaging learning opportunities planned, as well as special events and activities to mark this important stage in the children's school journey.
We are looking forward to making the most of our final weeks together and creating lasting memories as a class.
The Year Six team includes myself, Mrs Campbell and Ms Espejo. Mrs Ellis will continue to teach the class on Tuesday afternoons.
Please Ensure Your Child Brings the Following to School Every Day:
- A named water bottle (please ensure only water is brought to school)
- A named waterproof coat (we go outside in all weathers!)
- A healthy snack for break time, such as fruit or carrot sticks (please no crisps, biscuits, chocolate or products containing nuts)
- During warmer weather, a named sun hat and a suitable application of sun cream before school
PE and Forest School
Class 6 will have PE lessons on Tuesday mornings and Forest School sessions on Tuesday afternoons.
Children are welcome to come to school wearing their PE kit on these days but should wear their school jumper over the top.
PE kit should include:
- Black shorts or jogging bottoms
- Team colour T-shirt
- Black trainers
- School jumper (no hoodies or alternative jumpers)
Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to a fantastic final term with Year 6!
Homework
Homework will be set on a Friday and it will be due back in to school by the following Wednesday. If your child finds any of the homework difficult, please feel free to contact me and we can go through this with your child at school. Spellings will be given at the beginning of term and the children will then be tested on a Friday morning.
Reading
We believe that Reading is so important to help children with their overall learning across the curriculum and to inspire their creative writing! Children in Class Six should read for fifteen minutes a day to support their reading fluency and comprehension skills. Please record this in your child's reading record, we are aiming for all children to read at least four times a week. Please let me know if you need any recommendations for fantastic books!
If you have any questions and wish to contact me, please either contact the school office or email me at:

Best wishes and thank you for your support,
Miss C Oakley
