Welcome to Year 6!

Here you will find three teachers.  

Miss Peck and Mrs Matthews share Class 8 and Miss Wells teaches Class 7.

We are lucky enough to have two amazing TAs working with us too, Mrs Adams and Miss Deakin.

We are always very busy in Year 6, constantly developing skills and working on our amazing topics.

There are three topics in Year 6 - The Victorians and the Industrial Revolution, Africa, and Crime and Punishment.

If you click on the links below, you will find out more about each topic.

Our P.E. days are Tuesday and Friday.  Children need to come in their P.E. kits on those days. Please remember that children need to wear navy shorts (not tight or overly short cycle shorts) and a plain white T-shirt for P.E.  When it gets cold, the children can wear a plain navy blue hoodie and tracksuit bottoms.  

WE DO NOT HAVE LOGOS ON OUR P.E. KIT.

Children should try to leave ear-rings at home on P.E. days, as they will take them out for the lessons anyway.  Long hair needs to be fastened back with a bobble.

When we are not in our P.E. kit, we must always wear our uniform.  Don't forget that trousers and skirts should be grey (not too short and not too tight), shoes should be black and ties should be worn.

Children need to bring their reading book and diary every day.  We expect children to read at least five times at home every week.  Please support us in this by signing their diary every time they read.  Children also need to bring their water bottle every day.  It is very important they stay hydrated.  We do have drinking water in school, so they can always refill them with no problems.  They must take them home every day in order for them to be cleaned.

Homework will be sent out every week on a Friday (once we have been to Hagg Farm).  There will generally be spellings, and a piece of Maths and English work too.  In the front cover of their reading diary, the children have all of their logins for a range of websites we use in Year 6.  Please encourage them to go on to keep their skills sharp, particularly SATs Bootcamp (where they can practise any topics and aspects of learning they choose), Prodigy Maths, TTRockstars (to keep their multiplication skills sharp), Read Theory, Get Epic and Purple Mash.  We may also put homework from spag.com or EdShed for the children to complete too - but we would let you know via Marvellous Me.  Rapid Recall is a focus for us at Newlands.  The children can always practise their recall skills whenever they have a spare moment.
