20th September - Year 6 Parents' Meetings
31st October - High School Applications Closing Date
Year 6 is an exciting and busy year for all of the pupils and have an exciting Autumn term ahead. This term, we will be learning lots of new things including: World War 2, the circulatory system and Buddhism.
Lots of our day will be focused around reading and we will be sharing two exciting books over the half term: The Mysteries of Harris Burdick and Wonder.
Year 6 is a very important part of the Holy Trinity journey as we prepare the children for their transition to high school. On the class page, there is some information so that you can continue to support your child this year.
If you would like to contact me about your child or any queries you have, you are very welcome to speak to any member of the Year 6 team or email year6teacher@holytrinity.tameside.sch.uk.
Reading
The children in Year 6 are expected to read their colour banded reading book at least three times each week. Each week, they must complete a reading journal homework in their yellow reading journal book and bring it into school on Tuesdays.
Although pupils are able to read independently, please listen to your child read out loud as often as you can as they love having an audience for their reading and it helps develop their reading fluency and comprehension. Please sign your child's reading record book each time they read.
The children also have access to a wide range of online reading books through Active Learn Bug Club.
Spelling
New spellings are given out every Friday and the children will be tested on these the following week. Pupils also have to complete a spelling homework task in their purple homework book each week. This must be handed in on Friday mornings.
Children can practise, play games and test themselves on Spelling Frame.
Number facts
It is essential that your child knows all their multiplication and division facts up to 12x12. This is so that they can access learning in maths with confidence. Please encourage your child to practise these facts regularly using TT Rockstars which is a fantastic, fun and free website that we subscribe to.
Your child may also need to revise addition and subtraction facts and can do so on Numbots.
Swimming
We will be swimming every Monday throughout Year 6. Please make sure that your child has the correct kit every week and that any jewellery is removed before coming to school. If your child is not swimming, please let the office staff know.
P.E.
P.E. is every Thursday. Please make sure your child has the correct P.E. uniform and that they are dressed appropriately for the British weather! Please see the uniform policy for further information.
Fruit money
Fruit is provided at each playtime and we encourage the children to have it. Fruit money is £1 per week and should be given to Miss Ditta each Monday please.
