Welcome to Y6 Sycamore!

Teacher: Mrs Floodgate
Teaching Assistants: Miss Taylor, Ms Denton & Miss Sum
Welcome back after the Summer holidays and welcome to Year 6! We hope that you have all had a safe and rewarding time with your families during the summer break; we are really looking forward to returning as we have missed you all!
This will be the final year our Year 6 pupils will be with us and we aim to ensure that all the children continue to achieve their potential in Year 6 through growing their brains, making beautiful oopses and seeing wobbles as a positive way to learn from. As the oldest children at the Firs Primary, this is an important year for them and I hope they all enjoy the year and work hard in achieving their potential to become strong independent learners. Remember... practise makes MORE perfect!
This term we are focusing on the Victorian period and what life was like living in Victorian England. There are many interesting facts to discover and learn about and children will be asked to engage in personal research projects later in the term, such as: child workers, technological advancements or crime and punishment!
It is important they build on solid foundations from previous years and work hard to help prepare for life at high school. It will be extremely helpful if you are able to continue to support your child at home by continually monitoring reading and progress with any home learning tasks, such as spellings and times tables.
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.
