Important Information

Welcome to Year 6!
This is an exciting and important year as we prepare for the transition to secondary school and work towards the SATs. Our focus will be on building confidence, developing independence, and ensuring all children are fully prepared for the challenges ahead.

Throughout the week, we will use Times Tables Rock Stars to practise and track our fluency with times tables. By Year 6, we aim for children to know all their times tables and related facts fluently, as this underpins many areas of the maths curriculum.

Each week, children will be given a spelling task and are expected to complete 30 minutes of practice on Times Tables Rock Stars. The Year 5/6 Statutory Word List can be found in the documents on this page. These are the spellings we aim for children to know by the end of Year 6.

Additional Support:
To help every child feel confident and prepared for their SATs, we will also be running after-school booster lessons. These sessions will focus on key skills and targeted support to ensure every child reaches their full potential.

Reading at home daily will help develop and improve pace, fluency and understanding. Please listen to your child read at least 3 times a week and then record in their reading record. 

Other useful information: 

The Year 6 school uniform is a black jumper with the school logo. This is available to buy from Total Clothing (https://www.totalclothingshop.co.uk/ssj/year-6-only).

Suitable PE kit must be worn: a black or white t-shirt with the Stanground St John's Logo or a plain black t-shirt, and black shorts/ sports trousers. 

Tapestry: This will continue to be used as a primary means of communication. This needs to be checked on a daily basis to ensure you are up-to-date with key information. This is also your route for sending any messages directly to the class teacher. Evidence of learning will continue to be posted, along with suggestions of ways you could continue to support your child at home.
