Year 6 Kestrels 2025 - 2026

Welcome to Year 6

Spellings

New spellings for both year groups will be taught on a Monday, where a 'Look, Cover, Write, Check' sheet will be given out to the children to practice these new spellings in school during the week. In addition to this, the weekly spellings will be uploaded onto ‘Spelling Shed’ where your child can practice and play games linked to the weekly set spellings. Children will then be tested on these words weekly.

PE Session

The children will have their outdoor PE lesson with a Sports Coach on a Thursday. Please ensure that your child comes into school on this day with their PE Kit on. School policy is the red T-Shirt with school logo, black shorts or black track suit bottoms (or leggings) and the black 1/4 zip top with school logo.

Homework

In addition to reading, spellings and times table rockstars, children will recieve Maths and Literacy homework on a Friday to be completed for the following Thursday.

PLEASE NOTE: Much of the homework this year will take the form of practice papers in readiness for end of year SATS.

SATs Tests

As you are probably aware, the children will be sitting their end of primary school SATs tests in May. We will be holding an information evening later on in the term. Watch this space for details..

We ask that parents do not access online past papers to administer to your child at home - we will be using all of them in school to aid our own in house assessment and check for gaps in learning. If the children have already seen them, it causes us problems!

In the meantime, please feel free to access the information leaflet in the 'Files to Download' section below.

We look forward to a great year ahead!

Mrs Cooper and Mrs Richards
