In Year 6, we have all created wonderful homework pieces of artwork and models as part of our Geography 'Waste' topic to reuse pieces of rubbish that could become waste in the UK. We designed our pieces based on the Catholic Social Teaching Value of 'Care for Creation'. Look at what we have created...

Judaism Workshop for Year 6

Year 6 interviewed Father Michael about his role as our Parish Priest. We have been learning all about the role of a Priest in our Vocation and Commitment RE Topic. We learnt so many new things that we did not know and reflected on what Father Michael had to say. Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Father Michael.

6L Collective Worship looking at the Gospel of the week - Mark 10:42:45 - 'For The Son of Man Himself did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many'.

6L have just finished reading High Rise Mystery - Our first spine book of the year complete! We couldn't believe the ending - what an exciting story!

6L have created a gorgeous display to celebrate BHM and the theme of 'Reclaiming Narratives' - How many of these inspirational figures do you know?

6L have been praying the Rosary this month as October is the month of the Rosary - We have discussed why we say each Mystery of the Rosary with our peers.

6L had the BHM workshop today with Joseph - We learnt all about Nelson Mandela and his story through drama storytelling and discussions. What an inspirational figure! Wow! Thank you Joseph from East Side

6L have been making sun tiles this week following the style of Leonardo Da Vinci in Art - We sketched our designs out, used plaster and cardboard to make our bases then painted using the Sfumato technique with poster paints. We are proud of our creations!

We’re on our way home! Goodbye Kingswood! Huge thanks to our incredible and dedicated staff who came with us. Superstars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dear Parents, Carers and Year 6 children, 

 

We would like to warmly welcome you to our Year 6 team. Our team includes Miss Kiernan and Miss Lloyd-Thomas, who are the two class teachers. Mrs Mahon and Mrs Dwyer will assist in supporting the children in all areas of their learning while Mrs Kevane will continue to teach French, Music and Computing.  Year 6 is an exciting and challenging year and we are very enthusiastic about the year ahead. It may be useful to have some information regarding routine, expectations and home learning.

 

We will be updating the website on a regular basis and at times support with homework may be posted on here as well. We will always fully explain the expectations of any homework to the children and they can always come back and ask for support in any areas that they may find more challenging. 

 

PE

 

The children will be asked to wear their PE kit every Thursday and Friday to school to be ready for their PE lessons. There will be no need for PE kits to come into school. 

 

Reading

Reading is a very important part of your child’s development and is a key indicator of success later in life. In Year Six the expectations are very high and all children should be reading every day for at least 20 to 30 minutes at home. It is important that children develop their comprehension skills as well as their ability to decode words and read fluently. Therefore it is important to ask your child questions about their reading to confirm their understanding of a text. Your child should be completing detailed entries in their reading record nightly to reflect what they have read and understood that day. This will further help them to prepare for the Key Stage 2 National Reading Test in May 2024.

 

Homework

The children will be set homework three times a week and this is designed to support and develop their learning in school. It essential that all homework is completed to a high standard and is handed in on time.

English homework:  this is set on Monday and is due on Wednesday. English homework consists of a reading comprehension activity and a grammar, punctuation and spelling activity. 

Maths homework: this is set on Wednesday and is due on Friday. Maths homework consists of a online MyMaths activities and at times there may be a supporting task.

Weekend homework: this is set on Friday and is due in on Monday. Weekend homework usually consists of a reading activity or a research task related to the children's History, Geography, Science or wider learning.

 

School Clubs

Monday: Choir Club.

Wednesday: Netball & Football Club.

Thursday: Basketball Club.

 

Maths Key Facts

It is very important that children develop a quick recall of their key mathematical facts in order to carry out a range of calculations quickly and accurately. All children in Year 6 should be able to fluently recall their multiplication facts (1-12) and the related division facts with speed. Please ensure these are practised regularly. If your child loses this sheet, please do not hesitate to ask us for a new copy!
