Year 6

In Year 6, we are ready to hit the ground running and achieve great things this year!

We’ve got some fantastic trips lined up to further our learning, as well as some excellent topics. I’m really looking forward to exploring the heart and blood in science, as well as Birmingham’s role in the Industrial Revolution. Our class text this half term will be ‘There’s a boy in the girl’s bathroom’, by Louis Sachar. Have a read of the blurb below:

“Give me a dollar or I’ll spit on you.” That’s Bradley Chalker for you. He is the oldest child in the class. He tells enormous lies. He picks fights with girls, and the teachers say he has “serious behaviour problems.” No one likes him – except Carla, the new school counsellor. She thinks Bradley is sensitive and generous, and she even enjoys his far-fetched stories. Carla knows that Bradley could change, if only he weren’t afraid to try. Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is believing in yourself.

This year, it is crucial that children are reading every day. Please ensure that they bring their school reading book and diary into class every morning.

PE will continue to be on a Thursday.

Year 6 is a very important year for your child, so please make sure they are in school every day to give your child the best opportunity for them to achieve.
