Welcome to Y6 Magnolia

#Y6Magnolia

Teacher: Mr Tumilty (Mr Pasdari - Thursdays)

Teaching Assistants: Ms Denton, Miss Taylor

I hope everyone had a great Easter feasting on some sweet treats and now, as always, are ready to work hard this term and continue to use a ‘can do’ attitude to reach our potential and enjoy our learning!

This term will be particularly important for pupils to begin the transition into high school. With this in mind, visits will be arranged with high schools, and work will be completed in order to ease any wobbles that pupils may have prior to starting in September. I will attach our bookshelf below, which will contain full details of this term’s objectives.

Our SATS tests will also be held during the Summer term, starting on Monday 11^th May until Thursday 14^th May. Though the test results will only reflect a small part of what makes our pupils the amazing individuals they are, we will endeavour to prepare and work hard for all pupils to achieve their full potential and to be proud of personal achievements they make.

Our weekly routine will be...

• Tuesday- Children should arrive in school in full P.E. kits (yellow t-shirts, black shorts or tracksuit bottoms during the Winter months and trainers or black pumps). Regular school uniform is not required on this day.

• Wednesday- Homework books handed in with completed homework tasks.

• Wednesday- Children should arrive in school in full P.E. kits (yellow t-shirts, black shorts or tracksuit bottoms during the Winter months and trainers or black pumps). Regular school uniform is not required on this day.

• Friday- Children will receive their homework on Fridays with tasks to be completed at home.

• Daily- Independent reading books to be brought to class every day.

If there are any changes to the weekly routine or there are any issues arise, please let us know!  Make sure you follow our class activities on Seesaw, #Y6Magnolia to keep track on all the fun activities and interesting work we produce each week!

I will be in contact with any specific dates and details of any up and coming events but please do not hesitate to contact me about anything relating to school life.  If there are changes to the weekly routine or there are any issues that arise, please let us know by contacting school either by phone or email- office@firs.trafford.sch.uk  The admin team are always happy to forward your emails onto class teachers. 

Many Thanks,

Mr Tumilty, Mr Pasdari, Ms Denton, Miss Taylor

Reading

As a school, we have a huge focus on reading for pleasure. It is crucial that children in year 6 read regularly, and that the texts they are choosing are appropriate and challenging for their own level. Please see below a suggested reading list for year 6 - full of fantastic books which should challenge and excite them! Happy reading! 

Our Art Gallery

Art is a lesson that we love to express our creativity. Sometime our art is linked to a topic or book and sometimes art is linked to festivals and celebrations in the calendar. Our units this year will be closely linked to drawing, printing and sculpting. We focus on the process rather than the outcome; that way all of our work is unique, just like us! We hope you enjoy the images of our work that will be shared on here and our twitter page througout the year.

Methods In Maths

We understand that the mathematical methods taught in school may be different from what adults at home know and use. Use this link to find videos that explain the methods taught in school for each operation.
