Year 6 - Looking Back and Forth - Friday 8th May 2026

Y6 – Friday 8th May 2026 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 6

Looking back:

It has been a real privilege to work with this current Year 6 class who have, particularly in the last few weeks, shown just how much they are willing to learn and to perform their absolute best in class.  They have completed all of their preparations for their upcoming assessments and know what to expect next week.  There is nothing that should faze them and we only ask that they come in with a great attitude, some healthy snacks or drinks, and a lucky charm or two!  We have continued with our other regular, exciting lessons, so as to avoid “overload” and if you look through the photos from this week, and previous weeks, you’ll see that we’ve been working on light, PE, RE, pickleball, history, buddies and so much more.  On Friday, we enjoyed an extended breath of fresh air before buddies and – thankfully – the rain stayed away.

We hope everyone enjoys a restful weekend – we’ll see you all bright and breezy on Monday morning.

 Year 6 – Pupils’ Highlights:

  • Working in the dark in the classroom
  • PE
  • Reading The Good Thieves
  • Maths
  • Being on the field

Family discussion questions:

  • What are “translations” in maths and in which direction do shapes NOT travel?
  • Who is Victor Sorrotore and what has he done?
  • Tell me about the crystals that are forming in class.

Looking forward:

  • It’s assessments next week, but we’re all set and ready to show off what we know!
  • Wednesday is Year 6 “Height & Weight” measures – afternoons
  • Thursday morning (after the last test) will be our Marble Jar treat
  • Friday afternoon will see a little celebration to end the week.
