Welcome to the Year 6 Class Page

by

Year Six has a very busy academic year coming up. We begin with our
creative curriculum topic: ‘Would I survive in the rainforest?’ – a
geography-led topic which takes in not only environmental study, but also
lots of ethical questions relating to issues in our own lives. We look
forward to our fundraising day – ‘Orange for Orangutan’ in November and building some sturdy shelters in class. Watch out for news, photos and information regarding these events.

PLEASE CHECK THIS PAGE REGULALRY FOR UPDATES ON HOMEWORK AND KEY MESSAGES FOR HOME.

In the mean time, Mr Day sought to inspire the new Year Six children…’Be
More Cloud’ is our class motto! Take a look:

Hello and welcome back to Year 6!

You’ve had an AMAZING few days and I must say I am very impressed – you’ve all settled really well and you are definitely ready for the challenges ahead. We’re in it together and I am SURE that all of you have it in you to make excellent progress in your last year at St Mary’s.

I’ve kept homework fairly simple this weekend – see below. Please remember that homework is due on Monday.

  1. Have a look at IXL.COM and see how it works. Spend a little time experimenting with it.
  2.  x2 recorded ‘reads’ by Tuesday please. Green readers will be checked then.
  3.  Learn gp 1 spellings and write x10 sentences in your book that contain them (spelling test Friday!)
  4.  Make sure you are rested and ready for next week!

Parents – have you read the Y6 newsletter that was sent out on parentmail today?  Take a look if you can. There is also a video on the website, showing a few snippets of life at St Mary’s over the last few days..

Have a good weekend everyone!

Hello everyone.

I just want to point you in the direction of a new set of resources on our ‘Learning’ tab dropdown on the website.

If you click on it, you will find a range of resources and documents that contain some useful advice: especially if your children are struggling somewhat during the lockdown.

Please take a moment to have a look at the resources – particularly the information on World Mental Health Awareness Day.

Don’t forget, if we can help – we will do our best. There is usually someone here at school you can talk to.

Best wishes to you all on behalf of all the staff here at St Mary’s.

Mr Day
