Welcome to Year 6!
Our teachers in Year 6 are Mr Arch & Miss Coombs-Taylor (6P), Miss Penfold (6L) and Mrs Johnson (6T). We are lucky to have lots of other staff working with us as well so please watch our Curriculum Video below.
Please come to school for this half-term in PE kit on Wednesday & Friday.
This should be:
- The correct colour t-shirt for the house they are in
- Trainers
- Black or navy shorts/leggings
- Sweatshirt for outdoors
- Track suit bottoms for outdoors
If children come to school in their kit, they should be wearing their school jumper/sweatshirt/cardigan over the top and bringing their sweatshirt top to change into for outdoor PE.
Homework
This will be set on Thursday and then handed in on the following Wednesday with a spelling test also on Wednesday. Each week there will be spellings and maths homework. The maths will be set on Maths Shed on alternate weeks. The rest of your homework should be completed in your homework book. Science homework is set fortnightly. We will occasionally set homework linked to our topics but will allow for this by not setting other work at the same time.

Summer Term
Geography Topic – Planet in Peril
We will be exploring the environmental issues currently facing Earth and exploring what we can do as ‘humans’ to help with this.
Please spend some time watching our curriculum video. This will give you an overview of life in year 6, the curriculum we will be covering, details of exciting year 6 events and ways you can support your child during this important last year at Heymann:
Dukes Barn
This year we will be sharing half termly support sheets for maths called KIRFs. This stands for key instant recall facts. Please click on the KIRFs tab to see this half term’s. These should help you to focus on some important facts which you need to know off by heart for success in maths.
Maths – KIRFS
Every Friday you will tackle the M Squares challenge. This is to help keep your recall of times tables facts sharp. You will be given 5 minutes to complete each grid. If you are successful, you move up to the next level. Please use the copies of the M Squares grids below to practise at home. Don’t forget to use your TT Rock Stars account to keep practising your tables too.
As part of the final year in Primary School, the children will have a series of assessments known as Standard Assessment Tests (SATs). These are designed to find out if children are on track to meet the expected standards in English and maths as set out by the government.
We work hard to ensure that this is as positive an experience as we can make it for the children whilst still understanding they they want to do the best that they can on these assessments.
Attached below are two documents. One gives you more information about the assessments themselves and one tells you about how the results will be shared at the end of the year and what they mean.
As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact the year 6 team year6-teachers@heymann.notts.sch.uk
