In Year 6, we have two classes - Red Kites and Eagles.

The teacher in Year 6 Red Kites is Miss Lloyd.

The teacher in Year 6 Eagles is Miss Kavanagh.

Miss Rawat also works across both classes supporting in Reading, Writing, Grammar and Maths as the Year 6 lead teacher.

Our teaching assistants are Miss Benson, Mrs McKay and Miss Davies. They work across the year group and carry out interventions and support in whole class lessons alongside the teachers.

SATs Companion

SATs Companion is how we set homework in Year 6 every week. It is vital that your child completes the tasks at home. The videos online are great as they recap the learning taught in school before your child takes the online test. We are looking for 65%+ as a pass mark.

Your child can complete extra by going to the practice area whenever they have time. This can have a huge impact in building your child’s confidence across all subjects.

Homework is set on a Friday and is due the following Friday.

 

Other Year 6 expectations:

  • Spellings to be posted on ClassDojo each Friday and practised at home.
  • Reading books to be read most days and brought into school.
  • Reading records to be signed so that we can see your child’s progress at home.
  • A charge of £5 for lost/damaged reading books.
  • Times Tables Rock Stars to be accessed at home.

 

PE day

Year 6 have P.E on a Monday with Mr Myring and Mr O. A P.E kit is a plain white t-shirt, leggings/ tracksuit bottoms/ shorts, comfy trainers and a school jumper/ cardigan. No additional jackets are needed.


Curriculum

We cover a broad curriculum so be sure to check our yearly overview on the right hand side of this page. We also upload half term curriculum overviews on ClassDojo so you can stay up to date with what your child is learning. Please ask your child’s class teacher if you are ever unsure.


Healthy lifestyle at Primrose Hill

Children are allowed to bring in a piece of fruit to eat at break time. Children are encouraged to bring in their own water bottle so they can have easy access to it throughout the day.

We like to encourage physical fitness here at Primrose Hill. Every day we take part in a DAILY MILE using our excellent outside facilities!

If you would like to discuss anything further or have any questions regarding what is being covered in Year 6 then please contact the class teacher on ClassDojo to arrange an appointment.
