Welcome to Year 6!  We hope you had a fantastic summer.

What an exciting final year of Primary School we have! Here is an overview of the term ahead.

PE will be on Wednesday afternoons.

 

The children should read at least 4 times each week (this can include Reading Plus).  Raffle tickets will be awarded – I wonder who will win our first book prizes of the year?

We also encourage the children to use Times Tables Rock Stars on a regular basis.

Here are the Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFs) for the children to learn.

We look forward to working with you this year.

Please do contact a member of the Year 6 team if you have any questions!
