Welcome to Year 6 / Badger Class! 

Class Teacher - Miss Beckett

Teaching Assistant - Mrs Forbes 

Hello Term !

Hope you all had a lovely Easter and ate plenty of chocolate! This is a short yet busy term for us in Year 6. SAT's week is Monday 13th May - Thursday 16th May. Keep an eye out on parent pay as we will be offering a SAT's breakfast for all children in Year 6. During the weeks leading up we will be using that time to finish parts of the curriculum and practice ready for these papers. We will support you the whole way, you've done brilliantly so far. 

Please keep checking this page for regular updates, information and pictures of our learning we will encountering over the course of this year.

Could I ask that the children read once daily and have their reading record signed by whomever listens to them. I also ask that your child practices their spellings each week. They will be tested on a Friday. 

Additional targeted work maybe sent home as and when it is felt they need extra practice. 

Thank you for your continued support. If you need anything please feel free to speak to us in the playground or email.
