Autumn 2026

Happy new term everyone and welcome to Year 6!  We hope everyone had a great summer break and is ready for a brilliant start to their last year of primary school.

The staff in year 6 are Mrs Marriott and Miss Coombs-Taylor in 6P, Mr Murray in 6T and Mrs Johnson in 6L.  Mr Wilks is a student teacher who will be based in 6L for most of the year.  Mrs Bielecka will also be teaching some of your children during English lessons. Mr Hill and Mrs Bonsai are our teaching assistants.

Please come to school for this half-term in PE kit on Wednesday and 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/hoodie over the top and bring their sweatshirt top to change into for outdoor PE if required.

Homework

This will be set on Friday and then handed in on the following Thursday.  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.

Curriculum

The Industrial Revolution is our first history topic. Please see below for the knowledge organiser for this topic:
