Our Year 6 Team...

Mrs Sparks is the Class Teacher and our wonderful Mrs D is our teaching assisstant.

Mrs Tucker and Mr Ault will be teaching Y6 every Thursday mornings for Autumn1.

For AUTUMN 1, Y6 will have PE every Thursday and Friday.

A warm welcome to the Year Six class page. Here you will find information about the year ahead, including a sample of our timetable, an overview of what will be taught each term and homework guidance. Year 6 is a wonderful time to reflect on all our successes and achievements during our time together at Sandiway. We have lots of exciting events and opportunities planned through out the year.

All photographs will be shared via SeeSaw and will not be posted on the school website. Please make sure you login onto your new SeeSaw accounts.

If there is anything you wish to discuss in more detail, please contact the office to arrange an appointment with myself or send me an email via admin@sandiway.cheshire.sch.uk. 

Grow and Achieve together!

Homework

Homework and supporting school work at home is more important than ever this year.

Our homework will focus on statutory spellings (Y3-Y6 words), reading comprehension, SPaG questions and arithmetic and problem solving skills. We will also be working through SATs practice books as part of weekly homework.

Reading remains a vital element of supporting your child's learning. Please continue to encourage your child to read regularly and continue to listen to them reading and share books together. 

Homework is set every Thursday and is due in the following Tuesday.  Please see the homework guidance attached in the files below and you can also find this on the inside cover of your homework book. Homework will always be marked on a Wednesday morning.

Homework will be posted on Seesaw every week to download and complete in homework books.

Our Year 6 Read Alouds...

Year 6 will be exploring a beautiful collection of fiction texts and poetry this half term. The children have the opportunity to vote for which book we will be reading next. 

I would also highly recommend that you have a look together at the Top 50 recommended reads. These books are to inspire a love for reading at home and reading for pleasure. There is a poster attached in the files section at the bottom of this page and a tick sheet will also be sent home in reading records.

Termly Reminders:

PE: Y6 have PE every Thursday morning with Mr Ault this half term and every Friday afternoon. Children should come dressed in their PE kit on these days. It is essential all PE jumpers/jackets are named. While the weather remains cold please ensure children wear leggings/joggers. As the weather warms please ensure your child brings in a water bottle and sun hat.

Water: Children MUST bring in a bottle of water each day which they can access at any time.  Please ensure your child’s name is on their bottle. 

Snack: If you wish to send in a snack, please make sure it is healthy - no chocolate, crisps or sweets. We are a nut free school. Snack can also be purchased from the school kitchen using credit on your child’s dinner money account. 

Year 6 Junior Leadership Team

Year 6 are already very excitied to become the next generation of leaders and will take on a set of roles and responsibilities this year. They are over the moon to have recieved their Reception buddy names and can't wait to meet them. This is a fantastic opportunity for Y6 to become more involved and lead by example. We are looking forward to sharing their roles soon. Y6 have already written some beautiful letters to the new Reception children who will be joining us in September.
