Year 6 Newsletter
Welcome Back
A big welcome back to all the pupils! The teachers, Miss Shaw, Miss Hall and Miss Shah, have been hard
at work preparing for the new term and getting the Year 6 classrooms ready.
Curriculum
This term, Year 6 are learning about Nancy Wake, a secret agent spy during World War Two, as part of the
RESPECT curriculum. We can’t wait to learn all about the British war effort, evacuees, The Blitz and Dunkirk.
We are also excited to take part in class missions to experience some of the challenges soldiers and secret agents would have faced. We will need to show excellent communication, resilience and self-awareness skills to fulfil the missions.
Home learning
To help support your child at home, we encourage parents to read with their child daily. Frequent reading will enable your child to increase their language fluency, comprehension skills and reading stamina and will help with all areas of the curriculum. Children should bring their reading books into school daily.
Support with homework where possible would help enable your child to progress further throughout the year.
Please take a look at our fantastic homework menus, which you can find on the school website. English and Maths homework is given out on Thursday and is due in the following Tuesday. We also ask that the children practise their mental and written arithmetic as often as possible.
Another excellent way to support your child at home, is by practising spelling their high frequency words or practising the spelling rule they are being taught that week.
General information
We are really looking forward to our PE sessions with City in the Community sports coaches every Thursday.
For safety reasons, please ensure that your child brings appropriate footwear for these lessons. Earring should not be worn for PE. If studs cannot be removed, they should be covered by a plaster.
