Year 6 2025-2026

Year 6 Summer News

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back after the Easter holidays! We have a busy and exciting summer term planned.

This term we will be focusing upon Ancient Greece for our History topic. We will also be talking about ‘Moving On’. The subjects covered include History, Geography, Literacy, ICT and Art.

PE

All children in year 6 will still have P.E on a Tuesday afternoon, this will be taught by our Sport Teachers. Please can all children come in to school in their PE kits every Tuesday. Jewellery causes us concern from time to time and we would like to ensure that children do not wear rings, necklaces etc., small studs are acceptable but must be removed for P.E. Now the warm weather is upon us, can we please ensure that children have water bottles in school for PE and hats if necessary.  Please also remember a spare pair of shoes so the children can change if the field is muddy.

Your child will also have an additional P.E lesson so should also come into School in their P.E kit on the following day:

Homework

Reading- Children are still expected to be reading at home at least 4 times a week for at least 20 minutes, and this should be signed in their reading record. This can be with an adult or independently.

Spelling- Children will be given weekly spellings on ‘Doodle Spell’. Children’s password is the same as Doodle Maths. Children should complete the weekly assignment on doodle spell, which will replace the written homework and spelling test. We will be covering these words during our spelling lessons.

Literacy homework/CGP homework- This can be found on the homework sheet and is due on the following Monday.

DoodleMaths - These are not compulsory as homework but children can still complete whenever they wish.

We are keen to continue to promote high standards both in the classroom and around school. We are delighted to see that the majority of pupils are wearing the correct school uniform. Can we remind you that all school policies, including the uniform policy, are available on the school website.

Finally, we are hoping that the warmer weather will be upon us! Please can you ensure (if necessary) that your child has a sunhat, cream and plenty of water to drink during the day. We are looking forward to all these activities and learning in Year 6.

Thank you for your support this year.

Many thanks,

Mr Lugar and the Year 6 team
