St. Peter's C.E. Primary School

Year 6 information

Year 6 are currently working very hard in this important final year at St Peter’s. Here are some of our plans for the year ahead and details of weekly routines.

This year, we will be looking at many different topics over the course of the year. To begin with, we will look at famous historical & geographical features – Mountains & Monuments – both in the UK and around the globe during our first term. We will also be going on field trips when possible to compliment classroom learning.

In our second term, we will study China as our topic. China has a vast and rich heritage and will be a fascinating topic for us to explore.

Finally, we will look at the ancient Islamic civilisation and take a journey through the period in history known as the Golden Age of Islam.

School Uniform: Children are required to wear a full school uniform every day.

Homework: Homework diaries must be handed in every day signed by an adult who practised with their child. Proof of practising homework can be written in their homework diary book.

Times Tables: Times Tables must be practised daily to ensure fluency. Rapid recall of times tables will be a massive aid to you child for their SATs.

Reading: In Year 6, children should be reading at home every day. Practising reading will also be of massive benefit as children are also tested on this area at the end of their primary education.

Spelling: Children are also required to practice both class spellings and individual spellings daily. It is also very important that children practise their spellings as this is also an area that they are tested in.

PE: PE kits should be in school every day. We do PE lessons every Thursday in the Sports hall. Kits can be taken home to be cleaned at the end of every half term.
