Owls - Year 6
Welcome to the Year 6 Class Page!
Hello and welcome to our Year Six class page. Year Six is a pivotal year and I will be working hard to ensure that your child has a wonderful end to their primary school career. I aim to create a welcoming, enticing environment that will allow all children to develop independence, resilience and knowledge through a rich, varied and challenging skills-based curriculum. I want the children to be ready for their SATs but, most importantly, be ready for the challenges that they will be facing after they leave us and head to secondary school.
Thank you for visiting our class page and I hope that the information you find here will be useful.

Homework
The children are expected to read and are encouraged to do 10 minutes of TTR (Times Tables Rockstars) every evening.
English/topic and maths homework will be set on a Friday and will be due in the following Friday, ready to be marked in class, going through any issues that have arisen.
KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) are great for helping the children to increase their speed of recall. The secret to success is practising little and often. Can you practise these KIRFs while walking to school or during a car journey?
The children will be provided with a list of either common exception words, topic related words or vocabulary based on building and extending spelling knowledge and understanding that pupils should be familiar with by the end of Year 6. They will be tested on these words every Tuesday.
If your child would like to carry out additional tasks for homework, please feel free to purchase any of the following recommended booklets available online:
- Year 6 Collins Maths and English Practice Workbooks
- Year 6 Scholastic National Curriculum Practice Books
- Year 6 Rising Stars Achieve SPaG, Maths and Reading Workbooks
Wednesday 8th September 2021 – Class Debate
Year 6 read chapters Christopher’s House and Driving from the book ‘Wonder.’
They thought about what the parents were arguing about and whether they were for or against the idea of August going to school.
They explored reasons why it might be good for him to go to school as well as why might it be good for August to be home-schooled instead. Year 6 brainstormed their ideas and reasons and facts to defend their opinions.
The class then had to choose whether they were ‘Team dad’ or ‘Team mum’ and had a debate.
Tuesday 21st September 2021 – P.E.
Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their P.E. lesson with Mrs Higgins this morning! They put their basketball skills to practice and challenged each other through team building and competitive activities.
