Class 6JM

Welcome to 6JM 

We are really excited to work with our new year 6 children in 6JM. We have an exciting year ahead of us with lots to look forward to.

The teachers in 6JM continue to be Mrs Jenny May on Mondays and Tuesdays and Mrs Jen McMahon on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We are lucky enough to have two teaching assistants working in 6JM this year: Mrs Janet Gerrard and Mrs Gill Gibbons.

In the mornings, the children will work in their classes on the core subjects - English and maths. In the afternoons, the children will enjoy our foundation subjects covering a range of interesting and fun topics.

Please see the Year 6 newsletter for information about the topic areas that will be taught this term in Year 6 within each subject area.

P.E. is on a Monday and Wednesday. The children need to come to school in their P.E. kits on these days. P.E. kit is a white t-shirt, black shorts / joggers and trainers. All jewellery should be removed for P.E. and long hair should be tied back.

Homework is set weekly for English and Maths and is expected to be handed in by the Thursday having been handed out on the previous Friday.  Homework will be set through teams. We do expect homework to be taken seriously by the children as it is important that they prepare themselves for the homework they will receive next year. The idea of weekly tasks is preparing the children for the routine they will need to take on board in their secondary schools.

We encourage regular opportunities at home for the children to read, talk and to practise their multiplication tables. 

In October we have a group of year 6 children preparing to visit Wales for four nights. This trip promises to be action-packed and a fantastic way to make memories to last a life time. The children who are not visiting Wales will also enjoy a cross-curricular week back in school where they will carry out a variety of fun filled activities based on the country of Wales.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or concerns. We are here to help and support you and your child.
