Welcome to Year 6.
This is an important year as your children prepare for their SATs exams.
Year 6 is a crucial time, as children get ready to transition to secondary school.
We have a few expectations for the year ahead. Each week, we will set some learning material through Google Classroom or set some homework in their CGP books. We encourage you to support your child in completing these tasks independently.
Every half term there will be Home School Projects, which will allow the children to explore the different areas of the curriculum that interest them.
We are excited for the upcoming year and all the adventures it will bring.
