Welcome to Year 6
Welcome to our Year 6 page. We have two classes in Year 6.
6J is Mrs Jones and Miss Coyne and 6W is Mr Willis and Miss Pugh. During Literacy and Numeracy we have a 3rd set which is taught by Mr Griffiths and Miss Walsh.
We work very hard in Year 6 ready for our important tests which are called SATS.
Every child in Year 6 across the country takes these tests.
This year they take place from Monday 9th May 2016.
SATS
In the summer term of 2016, children in Year 6 will be the first to take the new SATs papers. These tests in English and maths will reflect the new national curriculum, and are intended to be more rigorous. There will also be a completely new marking scheme to replace the existing national curriculum levels.
At the end of Year 6, children will sit tests in:
Homework
Homework Timetable
Monday
Maths ( to be handed in on Wednesday)
Tuesday
Spellings (to be tested on the following Tuesday)
Literacy (to be handed in on Thursday)
Homewriting (to be handed in on Monday)
Times Tables are to be tested 2/3 times a week. In Year 6 we test all of the times tables up to x12
Homework club is after school on a Tuesday from 3.30 - 4.30.
PE
During this year we will be swimming every week until Easter on Tuesday Afternoons at Everton Park Sports Centre. All children should take part. If for any reason you cannot please come into school to speak to the Year 6 team.
We also receive football coaching from the LFC coaches and PE lessons from Miss Beaumont our PE teacher. You should have your PE kit in school all week.
