Year 6
We are delighted to welcome you and your children to Year 6.
Welcome to our Year 6 page! As the children work through their final year with us, they continue to demonstrate maturity, resilience and a strong sense of responsibility. We are proud of the positive role models they are becoming and look forward to supporting them as they prepare for the next stage of their learning journey.
Uniform
We kindly remind all families of the importance of children attending school in the correct school uniform each day. Wearing the full, correct uniform helps pupils feel a sense of pride and belonging as well as supports our high standards across the school. The current expectations around school uniform are displayed on our website under school uniform.

Track my read
In year 6, we are moving towards using online reading records to support and encourage children in developing their reading habits.
This approach will help prepare children for the online home-learning platforms used by many secondary schools, while also ensuring that their reading progress and achievements are safely recorded. It removes the risk of reading records being lost or damaged and allows us to celebrate the fantastic progress children make throughout the year.
Please scan the QR code below to access the online reading record, log in, and begin recording your child’s reading.

FRIDAY
Arithmetic homework will be set on a Friday and handed to the children. The due date for this is the following Friday.
Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) will continue, with the expectation that children complete 25 minutes per week. This expectation may change as the year goes on for those who consistently score 20/20 in their Soundchecks in school.
Reading continues to be an important focus and children are expected to read at least five times per week, recording this in their reading records.
Children will have the opportunity to visit the school library weekly on a Wednesday as well as being issued a ‘Must Read’ shortly. For those reading banded books, these should now have been allocated.
Trips, Treats and Letters
Over the course of the year, we will send out information regarding various trips or treats we are organising.
Bikeability
Ahead of the Bikeability sessions in a couple of weeks, please see the below dates for each class. On these days, children will need to bring bikes and helmets in (unless they are borrowing either of these).
Bikeability days:
12th - 14th October: Attenborough, King, Storey
15th - 19th October: Hawking, Nightingale
Year 6 Hoodies
We will soon be beginning the process of organising our Year 6 Leavers Hoodies. Please keep your eyes out on Oakbites for our GDPR form and information letter.
