Welcome to Year 6a

Year 6a's class page!

Welcome to Year 6a. This is where you will find all the information you need to know about the Year 6 curriculum and the exciting learning your children will experience this year. There is so much to look forward to including being stretched and challenged; an exciting curriculum; trips; and an end of year production. Your child's last year at Tyldesley Primary School is going to be brilliant!

Our day starts at 8.45am and ends at 3.30pm. In that time, we enjoy being inquisitive learners who work hard to achieve great things whilst preparing ourselves for Year 7.

Key Dates / Reminders

P.E: Mondays (outdoor) and Thursdays (indoor)
Reading: We ask that children are heard read at home at least 3 times per week and their reading planner is signed by an adult.  When a child reads three times a week and their planner has been signed they get to move up within the reading championship!  We ask that reading planners and books are brought in to be changed on Thursdays ready for checking and for books to be swapped.

The children have a school reading book which they should take home each day and return the next day. The children are expected to read four times a week. Reading should be documented in the children's reading record so they can move up the reading championship on a Friday. 

Spelling tests will be every Friday. We will focus on a spelling rule each week, reviewing any we have looked at previously on Mondays. Children will have a personalised spelling book, where they can write the spelling rules and any examples we look at in class - this is to build up their own bank of spelling words. 

Homework 

• Read at least 4 times a week
• Practise weekly spellings
• Practise times tables up to 12 x 12 (with use of Times Tables Rock Stars)

Class Rewards

Dojo Points: ClassDojo points are awarded to pupils who display our core values of 'pride, respect, resilience, kindness and ambition'.
Rewards Menu: Once a child has achieved 100 Dojo points they are free to exchange these for a treat of our 'rewards menu', on display in every classroom!

Star of the Week: One child each week is selected for a special award for demonstrating one of our school values, issued in our Friday celebration assembly.
