Children in Year 6 are split into 3 main classes: 6 Beta, 6 Delta and 6 Gamma In Year 6, the children prepare for their SATs and teachers also assist them with the transition to secondary school. On average there are around 30 pupils in each class.
We have 4 groups for Literacy, Maths, Reading and Spelling lessons. These groupings are flexible and may change throughout the year to ensure children are targeted with work at the correct level.
Throughout their Humanities topics, the children will explore Crime and Punishment and the Mayans with opportunities for them to develop their writing skills in these subject areas too. Weekly science lessons as well as RE and PSHE also form part of our curriculum in Year 6.
In Year 6, your child’s class teacher or teaching assistant will hear them read. We also run group reading sessions during the afternoons.
In the summer term, the children will have the opportunity to attend a residential trip to Plas Dol-y-Moch in North Wales. During this trip, they will be able to experience a range of outdoor activities such as gorge walking, canoeing, orienteering and mountain walking as well as being able to develop their independence, resilience and team work skills.
