Our day

In Year 6 we revisit prior learning from Year 3,4 and 5 as well as adding new learning in Year 6. Mornings generally consist of English and Maths lessons broken into different focus areas e.g. spelling; grammar and punctuation; reading comprehension; writing for English. For maths, there will be an arithmetic focus session as well as a longer maths lesson following our maths curriculum overview.

Morning Break: 10:30 – 10:45

Lunchtime: 12:15 – 13:15

Afternoon sessions comprise of one or two foundation subjects such as art, music, French, RE, geography, history, PE, PSHE, DT or science.

Homework & Reading Information

Homework is sent home every Monday and should be returned by the following Monday unless agreed otherwise. From time to time, children will also be given small, creative projects linked to one of the foundation subjects. These are designed to be enjoyable and engaging and complement children’s learning. If children struggle with an aspect of homework, they are free to ask for help during the week.

Homework can be completed and returned early if preferred.

In addition to their homework, children are expected to read at home a minimum of four times per week.
