Teacher: Miss Hazlewood

PE

Class 6’s PE days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. On PE days, children can come dressed in their PE kits; they don’t need to bring their uniform on these days. Please ensure that long hair is tied up and earrings are either taken out or taped up.

Spellings

New spelling words will be given out on Friday. Children will have a week to learn their spellings and will be tested the following Friday. Your child needs to bring their spelling book with them to school every Friday.

Homework

Homework will be handed out on Fridays. Children will then need to bring their homework back by the following Wednesday.

Planners

In order to prepare children for secondary school, they will be given their own planner. These are for children to record key dates and events, timetables, homework etc. Children will bring their planners home daily. In Class 6, we encourage children to read as often as possible. Each time your child reads, just sign their planner next to the correct date. These are checked on Fridays and points are awarded for effort.

Roles and responsibilities 

Our Wise Owls are always very busy working and helping by carrying out many roles in school such as: Reading Leaders, Science Ambassadors, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Maths Leaders, Playground Leaders, Wellbeing Leaders and School Council. 

Beyond the curriculum

We love to have fun too! Our Year 6 children will take part in lots of sporting events such as whole school running events, skipping events, athletics, football matches, lacrosse, dance, gymnastics, tag rugby competitions and so much more. We also have a Year 6 Wimbledon tennis tournament and a table tennis competition too! During the summer term, we put our spelling knowledge to the test and hold our own Spelling Bee tournament where the level is always very high! As part of our DT curriculum, each child works in a small group throughout the year to cook a meal for their peers to taste, these can range from wartime recipes based on rationing, traditional dishes from other countries, to cooking a meal with only seasonal ingredients. All Year 6 children also have the chance to use a sewing machine to design and make a very special gift. 

 

Fun days and visits

The Wise Owls will take part in lots of fun days such as our National Non-Fiction Day based on WW2, where children take part in wartime activities for a whole day. We have many dressing up days so get planning your outfits!  Some of our visits this year will include Crucial Crew where we learn about keeping safe at home and at secondary school, Whitby where we have an action-packed day full of fun activities based on our work at school.
