        Welcome to Y5&6

We are called the ‘Jaguar’ class. As the oldest class in the school, the pupils require the need to have a strong responsibility to demonstrate a fantastic work and behaviour ethic to set a good example for the younger pupils at the school. For the Year 6s, as this year is their final year at primary school, all of their learning in the classroom shall be building towards their end of KS2 SATs assessments, which take place in the Summer term. The Year 5s have the amazing opportunity to observe the experiences and learning that the Y6s have in preparation for when they are in Year 6 next year.

       As part of being in Jaguar class, the Y6 children have many roles to play around the school including sports leaders, delivering celebration assemblies, library monitors and school / eco councillors. This helps the children to show leadership skills, being more responsible and independent, and to give them further confidence at speaking in front of others. This will help to prepare the children for when they move onto secondary school in Year 7.

       A reading and maths homework is given to the children on a Friday (reading / SPaG / maths) and is expected to be returned by the following Wednesday. It is vital that pupils complete these (with increasing independence) as it helps them to practise their comprehension skills and consolidate their maths understanding from what they’ve been learning in the classroom. Pupils are encouraged to read at home regularly and to bring their reading passports back to school on a Thursday so that we can see how hard the children have been working at home on their reading. This will allow us to celebrate their achievements with the rest of the school on a Friday in our celebration assembly.

       PE shall be taught on a Wednesday morning (sports coach Neil Prescott) and on a Friday afternoon. Therefore, children can wear their PE kits to school on these days.

      Music lessons shall be taught by Mrs White on a Thursday morning, whilst Mrs Harris shall be teaching the class their Art / Design & Technology on a Wednesday morning.
