Willow Class
Teacher: Mrs Baker (Mon - Wed) Mrs Murray (Thursday - Fri)
PE days for the Autumn term: Tuesday and Friday
The Year 6 Classroom
This half term, our main topic is The Victorians. Children will explore life during this fascinating period in history, learning about key events, people, and inventions that shaped the Victorian era.
In Religious Education (RE), we will be exploring the question: "How did the world come to be?", encouraging thoughtful discussion and reflection on different beliefs about creation.
Our Science focus is Light. Pupils will investigate how light travels, how we see things, and how shadows are formed.
Homework
Homework is set every Friday and should be completed and returned by the following Tuesday. Tasks are designed to reinforce classroom learning and provide extra practice to support your child’s progress.
PE Information
PE lessons take place on Tuesdays and Fridays, with a focus this half term on Tag Rugby and Fitness.
Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on these days:
-
A plain tracksuit for colder weather
-
Appropriate footwear
-
No earrings should be worn on PE days for safety reasons
Reading at Home
Regular reading at home plays a key role in your child’s development. We ask that children read daily and that this is recorded in their reading record. Reading records are checked every Monday. Your support at home is greatly appreciated and makes a real difference to your child’s progress.
Parent Consultations
We look forward to sharing your child’s progress with you during our upcoming Parent Consultations on:
-
Thursday 16th October
-
Tuesday 21st October
Further details will be shared closer to the date.
We firmly believe that a strong partnership between home and school gives children the best chance to thrive.
Thank you for your continued support — by working together, we can ensure every child has a happy, successful, and fulfilling school experience.
