Year 6

Welcome to Year 6 at Lydgate Junior School. There are 120 of us and our teachers are: Mrs Shaw (Cherry); Mrs Watkinson and Mrs Jones (Oak); Mrs Wymer (Maple); and Mr Bradshaw (Holly). We are very lucky to be helped by our TAs: Mrs Hill and Mr Gartrell. What a team!

PE DAYS

On PE days, the children are to come to school in their PE kit (white t-shirt; black shorts/leggings/tracksuit bottoms; trainers; and a school sweatshirt). The PE days for Year 6 will be as follows:

Cherry - Monday and Wednesday

Oak - Tuesday and Thursday

Maple - Tuesday and Thursday

Holly - Monday and Tuesday

HOMEWORK

Homework (SPaG, reading and maths) will be set on a Wednesday and is to be returned the following Wednesday. Also, we would like all children to read at least three times a week, which they can record in their homework diaries (if they wish to). Children should record each book they read in the class reading record. All of the Year 6 teachers love reading and want to share this love with the children. We are always keen to share recommendations if your child is looking for a new book to read.

FOREST SCHOOLS

Having our own woodland area means that we are able to take some of our learning outside. When we head to the woods do make sure that you are dressed for the forecast that day - we go out in all weathers! Don't forget a mug for hot chocolate too.
