Welcome to Year 6!
A year filled with thrilling opportunities, tons of hard work and memorable times together as a class. This year we will be delving into fascinating questions such as, ‘How did a pile of dragon bones help to solve an Ancient Chinese mystery?’ Sounds interesting hey!
SATs are a significant focus throughout the year but will be balanced with the wider curriculum and opportunities for all pupils to shine in their given talents. I am passionate about encouraging pupils to grow, not only academically, but also emotionally and spiritually so that they leave Bollinbrook well-rounded, confident individuals ready for new challenges.
P.E will be on a Monday and Thursday. You can come to school in your P.E kit on these days. Forest school will be fortnightly on a Thursday starting from 14th September. Please ensure your child brings in a separate set of forest school clothes along with shoes and socks. In the winter, children need a warm coat and gloves.
Homework will be given out on a Friday and due in for the following Thursday. Children will be given weekly spellings, English and Maths homework along with regular reading and times tables. This is expected to be completed weekly. In Year 6, children are given ‘Homework Diaries’ to help develop their independence and organisation in preparation for high school. Homework Diaries need to be brought into school every day and will be checked on a Friday. Children need to write in the diary when they read every day and parents need to sign it weekly.
