Everything you need to know about life in Year 6
Welcome to Year 6
In Year 6, children can look forward to learning about the Wonders of the World in Geography, creating light-up cards in DT and the opportunity to take on a number of roles and responsibilities, including Captains and PALs (Playground Activity Leaders). A local tour of Southport to study the coast and learn about our town’s history awaits the children in autumn term, as well as our residential trip to Conwy in July.

What Does My Child Need Each Day?
Your child should bring their Reading Record, coat and water bottle with them each day. They can also bring in a healthy snack to have at break time if they wish.
Strong Foundations: Reading at Home
Your child should read every day for at least 10 minutes. Reading Records must be completed and sent in on the day specified by your child’s class teacher (this will be written on the front of your child’s Reading Record.
Three most helpful ways to support learning at home
- Ensuring that your child completes thier LBQ homework each week
- Reading every day
- Practise spellings regularly
Homework
Your child should access the work set on LBQ each week, and complete the tasks set on there. This will begin with just Maths, but will increase to Reading and Grammar later in the year.
Each term, your child will receive an optional bingo homework sheet. At the end of each term, we will hold a homework celebration afternoon, where children can share the activities they have completed. If your child has not been able to complete any of the activities, they will be given the opportunity to do so during this afternoon.
