Welcome to Year 6 Class
EDINBURGH 2022
TUESDAY 28th JUNE
Wow what a busy day ! Royal Yacht Brittania was the first stop this morning after a cracking breakfast. Then after lunch, we were off to Dynamic Earth. Back home for tea and now we are bowling! Mrs Webster and Mr Ashworth are in competition of who gets the first strike!! We will let you know who won! We've had a fabulous jam-packed day.
MONDAY 27th JUNE
Year 6 have had a fabulous first day, Some of the children managed a nap on the journey up, and Mr Ashworth also managed to get 40 winks in! After arriving in Edinburgh around midday their first stop was Edinburgh Castle, followed up with a visit to The Real Mary King's Close late afternoon. They are now back at their accommodation and are still smiling and should just be enjoying their evening meal.
Year 6 Class
- Mrs Kelly
- Mrs Room
- Mrs Allen
In Year 6, we are taught by Mrs Kelly and we are supported by Mrs Room. Mrs Room also teaches us when Mrs Kelly is completing her planning and preparation.
We follow the school ethos 'Christ at the Heart of All We Do' to ensure that we can complete our learning to the best of our ability.
General Information
Here are a few pieces of useful information:
Reading books
Your child will have a reading book and reading record and it’s really important that they are encouraged to read at home as often as possible. Some children in Year 6 are no longer reading books from the school reading scheme and they have been given a book of their choice from the class library. We want to instil in all our children a love of reading, so it is perfectly fine if they choose to read at home something they particularly like rather than their school reading book. If your child chooses to do this, could the title of the book be recorded in their reading record – thank you.
Spellings
Like last year, the children will be following the school spelling scheme throughout Year 6. Your child should bring home their spelling folder on Monday and complete the homework activity each evening. They will be tested each Friday in school.
P.E.
PE in the Summer term will be on Thursday and Friday. Please ensure your child has their full indoor and outdoor PE kit in school at all times.
Snacks
All children are encouraged to bring into school a snack of fresh fruit or vegetables which can be eaten at break time. Could we please remind you that this is fresh fruit and veg only.
Water
It’s important that your child remains hydrated during the day. Please ensure your child has a reusable water bottle in school each day clearly labelled with their name and containing water only. Your child should bring this home each evening so the bottle can be cleaned and refilled.
Rucksacks
Just a polite reminder that rucksacks and very large bags are not allowed in school. We simply do not have the room to accommodate them.
If you need to speak to me, please arrange this through the school office and I will contact you as soon as possible.
