Welcome to class 6AH
Your class teacher is
Mrs Hall
Year 6 also have extra help
during the week from our TAs
Ruth Taylor and Jennie Cohen
and Year 6's Learning Support Assistant
Steve Arrowsmith.
We have PE on Mondays and Wednesdays
Your child must wear their PE kit to school on this day, as they are unable to change in class or the changing rooms.
They are able to wear joggers, leggings or tights under their shorts on PE days, just in case the weather is not good. If they wear their jumper as usual they will be warm enough.

It's lovely to see the children participating in all aspects of school life with great enthusiasm. Most of them are wearing the correct school uniform, have their hair tied and are looking really smart. Please encourage your child to wear layers as all windows will be kept open to minimise the risk of being infected. The last term has seen 6AH settle in very well and they are now accustomed to the routines and demands expected of them. They are still expected to be in school every day despite being in a second lock-down. Mrs Hall |

A message from Mrs Hammond.
Science this half term will be Evolution and Inheritance and I will be teaching this to every year 6 class.
Could parents please start looking for photos of the children and themselves, grandparents, brothers/sisters in preparation for our work on inherited characteristics. Even if there are step families involved, ideas about acquired characteristics( a passion for the same sport/ genre of music etc) will be useful in discussion.
We are also looking at fossils and have already learnt about the importance of Mary Anning
