Year 6

Welcome to Year 6   

Where is the year going??? The children are half way through their final year of primary and what a great year it has been so far. They have all been amazing and are working so hard.

The next half term and just beyond Easter will see the final preparations for SATs alongside our wider curriculum. We shall complete a full set of practice SATs papers in the final week of term to support the children's preparation. We look forward to catching up with you all during 'Look at our Learning' week and then parents evenings.

We encourage children to read for a minimum of 10 minutes every day at home and to practise the spellings of the Common Exception Words for the whole of KS2 - children will have received copies of these. We shall also be learning these in school alongside the Year 6 spelling rules.
