Year 6
Week Beginning 15th June 2026
A huge well done to Year 6 for how brilliant they were on our PGL residential. Throughout the trip, they demonstrated fantastic teamwork, resilience and positivity, approaching every challenge with enthusiasm and determination. Whether supporting one another during activities, showing independence away from home, or representing the school with excellent behaviour and manners, they were a credit to themselves and the school.
We had the most wonderful time, and we are so proud of every single one of you. Please head to Facebook, where you will see a snippet of all the brilliant things we got up to – a web post will be following shortly!
Next week is Sports week – we have so many wonderful things lined up, so please ensure children are wearing PE kit every day.
On Monday, we will be heading to the beach in the morning, so please ensure children are sent into school with: hats, water bottles, sun cream, snack and raincoat (weather permitting). We will be returning by lunchtime, so no need for a packed lunch. On Wednesday, we will be heading to King's Park for the afternoon, so again, please ensure they are prepared with all the necessary items to keep them safe in the sunshine.
Homework
Every year, at the end of Year 6, the Year 6 pupils make a huge poster called ‘My Life So Far’ made of photos and stories of all the things that have happened to them since they were born. We will be displaying these in the hall during our leavers’ awards night, and we look forward to having so much fun seeing how much we have all grown.
Take your time, but we would like these to be in school by Friday 17th July.
You could include:
-
Self-portrait (drawn or painted)
-
Photos of you as a baby and through your life so far
-
Your best moments in your life so far
-
Your favourite holiday
-
Your biggest achievement
-
Your brothers and sisters and other family members.
We will be sending a letter out next week with more details.

Maths
Remember, MyMaths tasks will be set each week as identified in the weekly web update. Please ensure that you do the tasks set for the week. Remember, you also have access to Timetables Rockstars, too.
Remember, the Maths exam is split into three; one arithmetic paper and two reasoning papers. The arithmetic paper is more calculation based, whereas the reasoning focusses more on the application of these skills.
