Standards and Expectations

Year 6 is an exciting and important year for the children. As the oldest children in the school, they are expected to lead by example and demonstrate leadership skills by taking up various roles. These include our ambassadors, house captains, lunchtime leaders and active team.

The children in Owl class are expected to set a good example to the rest of the school by being well-behaved, punctual, organised, helpful and polite at all times. High standards of work are expected from them both in work completed at school and at home.

Reading

Part of a child’s development as a reader involves them selecting and discovering their own reading material. Children will bring home a book chosen from our reading corner or the school library that is within their AR level, as well as a reading for pleasure book. They will participate in group reading sessions in school. As reading is a continuous learning process, children may occasionally bring home a text that is too difficult or too easy. You can assist with this process by discussing choices with them and encouraging them to select more appropriate material. Miss Spain and Mrs Jones also guide the children in this process. Children are asked to read daily and to complete their own reading record.

Homework

Each term, children will have a variety of tasks to choose from linked to our learning at school. They should complete a different activity each week.

Reading- Children will be asked to read daily at home and for this to be noted in their school reading diary.

Spellings- Children will be set weekly spellings- these will be uploaded EdShed.

Times Tables- Please continue to practise times tables. This could be done using platforms such as Times Table Rock Stars.

Wider Opportunities

The Year 6 Enterprise Scheme, encourages children to come up with ways to fundraise for special events such as the Year 6 leaver's party and hoodies. It teaches children to be resourceful, work as a team and take ownership.

To encourage independence and responsibility, the children have the opportunity to take on pupil leadership roles.

Parents

If you need to speak to the class teacher about any aspect of your child’s schooling, please do not hesitate to contact the office to arrange a telephone appointment.
