Class 6 - Miss Edmonds
Curriculum newsletters
Welcome to Class 6!
Hello!
Thank you for visiting the Class 6 page. Class Dojo is the best place to find out what's going on in class, or if you'd like to contact me, but you can find some basic information here.
We do maths and English everyday, along with weekly Guided Reading sessions. I teach everyday, but Mrs Anderton teaches Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Mrs Pizer is our fantastic TA.
Year 6 is an exciting year for the children. We have a musical production in the summer term, bikeability, and hopefully we will be going on a residential stay in the summer. The children will be given more responsibilities and we prepare them for their next adventure - secondary school!
You will find below a list of the topics covered over the year, and some useful information about SATs.
I hope to see you all soon :)

SATs
SATs will be held at school on the week beginning Monday 13th May 2024. We will be finished on the Thursday of that week.
At home, you can help your child prepare for the SATs by reassuring them that it is a good opportunity to practise what they've learned, and test themselves against a tough curriculum. Looking at past papers and study books is a good way to familiarise both you and your child with the likely SATs questions. Please remember that effective revision needs to suit your child, and sometimes, less is more! It is vital that your child has instant recall of all multiplication/division facts up to 12 x 12. This will help enormously!
