Welcome to Year 6

Welcome back to term 5!

We will be continuing our learning about World War II. We will be learning about: how the war effected the people of Herne Bay. Then we will be moving onto our new topic: Herne Bay.

SATs is this term (13th-16th May) we will be ensuring that our children are prepared for this as much as possible so that the week runs smoothly for them. A more detailed letter will come out nearer the time to explain everything.

If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher.

Year 6 is an exciting time for all pupils: they are the eldest in the school, there is the opportunity to take part in a special activity week, the end of year leavers' celebration and preparations for moving on to year 7 in various secondary schools.
