Welcome to Year 6!

It’s a pleasure to be welcoming you all back this September. I am very much looking forward to the year ahead. Here is some key information for our class:

• We will be lining up on the bottom yard in the morning. Please ensure that you are respecting the social distancing guidelines before school starts.

• PE for our class will be on a Friday afternoon. You must come to school dressed in your PE kit on that day – your Waverley PE t-shirt, along with shorts or joggers, and your school jumper / cardigan. You will also need a named water bottle.

• Homework will be issued on a Friday and collected on a Wednesday. Spellings will follow the same schedule, with a test on Wednesday. If you lose any of your homework materials or are unsure of the content, please come to see me and I’ll assist you.

• Home-school reading books will also be checked and refreshed on a Wednesday. I will be expecting you to read at home at least five times a week.

• Topics for this year will be Local Legends, Who Should Be King?, From Sea to Shining Sea, Shackleton’s Journey, Gods and Mortals, and A Place in the Sun. Full details will be on the ‘Curriculum’ page of the website.
