Year 6 - Mrs Andrews 2025 - 2026
Mrs Andrews
Summer Term
Summer term is an exciting time in Year 6 as we prepare for SATs and most importantly for our transition to high school.
Our teachers, Mrs Andrews and Mrs Gargan will continue to help us with our learning, alongside our learning assistant, Miss Johnson.
In Summer term, we will continue to work hard in all of our lessons. In english, we will complete pieces of writing around the book, ‘The Day War Came'. In guided reading, we will study ‘Macbeth' by William Shakespeare. In maths we will finish all of our Y6 units as we begin to prepare for SATs and then for high school. In history, with Mrs Gargan, we will learn about the two world wars. In geography, also with Mrs Gargan, we will continue to learn about rivers and the water cycle. In PE we will complete units on athletics and gymnastics. PSHE will focus on ‘My Happy Mind’ and 'SRE'.
We also have our usual art and DT weeks.
Homework will continue to look a little different now as we continue to think about becoming more responsible for what we learn at home. Children still have their folder to keep all of their homework in and a timetable to follow so they get used to how homework might change when they get to high school.
Year 6 routines:
- PE Days: Thursday and Friday
- Please put names inside all clothing and shoes
- Children will take 2 reading books home- one is linked to their level of development and the other is a reading for pleasure book. Books can only be changed when they have been read and a parent has signed the planner. Please bring books in every day so that children can read in school and to an adult when appropriate.
- Please sign your child’s planner at the end of every week. This will be checked each Monday morning.
- Homework will be set on different days each week and brought back in according to a set timetable which children will have in their planner.
- Spellings are on the school website. They will be assessed each Friday.
