Welcome to Y6 Sycamore!
#Y6Sycamore
Teacher: Mrs Floodgate
Teaching Assistants: Miss Taylor, Ms Denton & Miss Sum
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 11th May until Thursday 14th 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.

Our Reading Area
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!
