Welcome to

Castleton Primary School and Children's Centre

Year 6

 

Welcome to Year 6

 

Welcome to Year 6. Our team looks like: 

6B – Mrs Bennett and Miss Shaw

6B PE days are Monday and Thursday.

 

6H- Miss Hayes, Miss Pyrah and Mrs Frith.

6H PE day are Tuesday and Thursday.

 

All children will be given a levelled reading book and a reading for pleasure book. We are expecting children to be logging any reads in their reading journal as part of their homework. 

Children in Year 6 also have access to Reading Plus. This platform supports reading in class and any targeted support needed. 

Login details for sites and others, such as Times Table Rockstars have been given to the children. 

 

The expectation is that we complete 30 TTR games and 5 Reading Plus texts a week. If you do not have access to online learning at home, time will be given time or support to complete any homework through the week at school. Y6 need to organise themselves to get this done each week as good preparation for high school.

During this half term, we will be getting to know the children through various activities. We have already started through weekly circle check ins and we can’t wait to find out more. 

In class, we will be continuing our Talk for Writing journey in English looking at warning stories and information texts whilst adding to our mathematical knowledge using Maths No Problem. In Science we are looking at Living Things and Their Habitats and in History we will be learning about Ancient Greece.

We have even more to look forward to this half-term as we get back into the school routine. Updates will be posted on our year group page and Facebook.

All parents are invited to our Class Assembly on Friday 20th September. More information to follow. 

 

A reminder that high school visits will take place throughout this half term and the application deadline in 30th October. If you need any support in this process, please speak to a member of the Year 6 team.
