Year 6
Welcome to Year 6
In year 6, we will work hard but have plenty of fun at the same time. Expectations are high, and we are role models to the rest of the school.
Our Year 6 team
Your teachers in 6EHD are Miss Hart-Davies and Mr Makin, and your teachers in 6JH are Miss Harter and Miss Renshaw.
PE
We will be swimming on Monday afternoons and have a basketball session with Mersey Mavericks on a Friday afternoon. Please remember your swimming kit (a swimming costume, towel and a swimming cap – goggles are optional) and PE kits on these days!
Homework
Each week, we will set you homework on spag.com and maths.co.uk. You will also receive spellings to practise each week, ready for a test each Friday. Please also make sure you are reading at home, for a few minutes each night.

Reading
It is really important that your child reads every day. This can be their home reading book which they have chosen from our class or school library, or a book that they have at home. We would really appreciate it if you encourage your child to read at least 20 minutes reading every day.
