Year 6
Welcome to our Year 6 page!
Year 6 is an exciting and important year, full of new challenges and opportunities as children prepare for their transition to secondary school. On this page, you’ll find key information about routines, homework, PE, and how to get in touch with us.
St. Peter’s Class is taught by Miss Callan, who will be joined by Mrs Jefferies on Mondays and Tuesdays. They will work closely together to ensure the children feel supported, challenged, and able to make great progress throughout their final year at St. John’s.
PE
During Autumn Term 1, our PE days will be Monday and Tuesday and will be spent both indoors and outdoors, covering Badminton and Rugby. On these days, children should come to school in their PE kits. Please note that PE days may change each half-term - we will make sure we let you know of any changes.
Supporting Learning at Home
We really value your support at home. Encouraging your child to read every day, practise times tables, and check their homework helps to build good routines and confidence. Here are some recommended websites that can be accessed from home. These sites provide activities and games to make revision fun and engaging.
