Year 6 – Willow

“Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34

Welcome to Willow Class!

We are Year 6 .

Our class teacher is Mr Hall.

Our TA/HLTA is Mrs Rose who will teach the class on Tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons.

We also have support from Mrs Banister, Mrs Harvey and Miss Keeble.

During the Autumn term, year 6 will be swimming at Hadleigh pool on Friday mornings. Children will need swimwear, a towel and a swimming hat.

Our other PE day will be Monday, so children need to wear their PE kit to school.

WHAT WE WILL BE LEARNING

English/guided reading - We will be using the book The Enemy by Charlie Higgins as stimulus for our English work. Reading it together as a class and doing tasks based on it.

Science - We will be learning about light.

RE - Why is the Gospel such good news for Christians? is the big question for the first half term asking the children to think what gospel means, what good news is and learning about the four gospels in the Bible.

Topic - The Tudors! Starting with a study of Henry VIII and his reign, we then look at the reformation, the differences in lifestyle between the rich and poor and then finish with looking at Hadleigh during the time and why our small town is important to this era of history.

Year 6 Homework 

The children will be expected to complete their homework each week. The homework will be made up of grammar and maths practice in preparation for the year 6 SATs test that the children will sit in May 2025. 

All of the work given to the children will be things they will have already done and will not be new to them, they are designed to be practice and not new learning. Any child who struggles to complete their homework for any reason should please ask for help from a member of the year 6 team who will be more than happy to support them.

Homework will also include spellings to be learnt each week. 

Homework will be given to the children in a folder and will be due in on a Monday, when they will be tested on the weekly spellings and then given their homework for the week.
