Welcome to Year 6
Welcome back to term 5, this term is extremely busy with SATs, Bikeability, Enterprise and Walk for Water. Throughout this term information will be shared about these events so please keep a close eye on the website, Class Dojo and the letters your children bring home.
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.
In year 6, our collective theme is birds of prey with the classes named:
Kestrels
Miss Quinn (Head of year and class teacher)
Ms Franklin (LSA)
Miss Linkins (LSA)
Miss Almond (LSA)

DVD and short animations
Over the course of the year to support the children’s learning, we will be showing a variety of short animations and DVDs. Some of these will have the rating ‘PG’. If you do not wish your child to partake in viewing these particular clips throughout the year, please let your class teacher know. This will begin from Friday 10th September.
