Welcome to Year 6a

Year 6a's class page!

The Class of 2025 is taught and supported by:

Class Teacher - Miss Patchett

Class Teaching Assistant - Mr Dunn 

Class 1:1 support - Mrs Pickering

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.

P.E will be twice a week and information as to which day will vary each term (please find this information on Class Dojo). This term, our learning focus is athletics and orienteering. Please remind children to remove any watches or earrings. 

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)
• Occasional subject specific based homework

All important information can be found on this page and the website. Please take a look at the curriculum overview, which outlines all the exciting learning which will be taking place in Year 6 this year.
