Year 6
Welcome to Year 6’s curriculum page. We hope you find the information below and on the term pages useful. Hopefully this gives you a flavour of what your children will be learning; please speak to your children about their experiences.
To find out what we will be learning in each term, follow the links titled 'Autumn Term Y6', 'Spring Term Y6' and 'Summer Term Y6'.
There are four year 6 classes as listed below:
- Omaha taught by Mrs Dawes (year 6 leader)
- Gold taught by Mrs Spry
- Sword taught by Miss Keogh
- Juno taught by Mr McEvoy
During their time in year 6, the children will continue to develop their knowledge and understanding across the curriculum, as well as prepare to make the important transition to secondary school.
Key information
- The school doors open at 8:40am, so please ensure that your child arrives at school punctually each morning.
- Spellings and homework are set every Monday and are expected back on a Monday. Negatives will be given after a warning of not returning it.
- The children are expected to have their reading book and reading diary in school every day.
- Reading diaries are to be handed in weekly so that they can be checked. The school expectation is that the children read a minimum of three times per week and evidence this within their reading diary.
- The children will have two P.E lessons each week (one indoor lesson and one outdoor lesson). Please see the P.E timetable below.

Times Table Rockstars, Century and LBQ
All children have been set up with Times Table Rockstars (TTRS), Century and LBQ accounts. These online platforms are superb resources that your child has access to in order to support the practise key areas of learning.
Please encourage your child to log on to both TTRS and Century regularly each week. If your child needs their log in details, please get in touch with your child's class teacher. We will send information about using LBQ at home to support SATS revision.
INSPIRE WORKSHOP
Thank you all for those that attended the Inspire workshop. I hope you found the session useful and now have the knowledge of how to use LBQW as a revision tool at home. As promised here are the slides for reference along with the grammar terminology and Arithmetic methods.
Another website that we have shown the children to use is Mathsbot - you need to select primary at the top and then KS2 Arithmetic compact and the children can practice arithmetic questions. - https://mathsbot.com/
