Luther King Class
Dear Parents,
Welcome to Year 6! We hope that you and your children have all had a great summer and we are looking forward to teaching the new Year 6 in their final year at St. Joseph’s.
The final year of primary school is an important year: not only because of the SATs test in May but also for the transition to Secondary School. The children will also be taking more responsibility for their learning in preparation for this move. In our learning, we have some exciting topics to look forward to!
The team working in Year 6 is: Mrs Preston (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday); Mrs Bartley (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday); Ms Blackwood (Maths and English groups); and Donna.
We look forward to meeting you and working with you and your child this year!
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to come and speak to us. We are always happy to see you!
Thank you for your support.
Weekly routines:
PE takes place on Monday and the children can come to school in their PE kits on that day.
Swimming takes place on a Thursday (starting 12th September). The children will need to bring in their swimming kit (swim suit, swimming cap and towel) ready for the afternoon.
Daily Homework: 30 minutes of reading, a page of times table and spelling practice. We expect the children to fill in their reading record daily and an adult to sign it weekly.
Homework: The children will also receive homework every day. This is a mixture of English and Maths work as well as research homework for different subjects. The research homework is set on Fridays and needs to be completed and handed in by Monday.
Spelling tests are on a Friday.
