Welcome to Year 6

Robin Wood countdown!

It's nearly here - just a few days to go until our Year 6 residential to the Robinwood Centre in Wrexham, Wales!

We'll be doing lots of different activities, such as raft building, climbing and archery!

Typical Year 6 Timetable

Key Information

• Full PE kit to be worn on Wednesday. 

Communicating with your child's class teacher: 

Our direct year group email is year6@st-matthews.leeds.sch.uk. As both classes use this email, please make it clear in the subject line who the email is for (FAO Mr Davies or Mr Morton). 

Names in clothing:

Please ensure that your child's clothing is clearly labelled with their name so their clothing can be rightfully returned (should it be taken off).

Homework

• Read at least three times a week with your child and discuss the books they are reading.  They should be reading a wide variety of both fiction and non-fiction material.
• MyMaths online homework will be set every Friday to be completed by Tuesday.
• New spellings will be given on Mondays to be tested on Friday.
• Grammar homework set Tuesday to be completed by Friday.

NB - Please be aware that the above will be subject to change, particularly once SATs week is completed.
