Year 6
Welcome to Year 6
The staff that work in this year group are:
- Ms Seward (Assistant Head)
- Mrs Moore (6A Class Teacher)
- Miss Bhogal (6B Class teacher)
- Miss Richardson (6C Class Teacher)
Year 6 is a wonderful year group to be in, full of exciting opportunities and learning. It is the year before you move on to Secondary school, so we always try to make it an enjoyable experience! You are now the oldest children in Hillary Primary School, and we expect you to all to be excellent role models for other children in our school.
When children move to Year 6, the biggest question they have is about the SATs tests. Please don’t be nervous about them, in Year 6 we revise all of the different elements of English and maths which you have already been taught so far in years 3, 4 and 5 so that you will be confident and well-prepared for the tests in May. Do not worry; we have lots of time to go through anything that you might need more help with. We also have some fabulous science, history, PE, geography, computing, art and DT topics to look forward to as well!
Here are some topics that you can look forward to learning about in Year 6:
- World War One
- Evolution and Inheritance
- Early Islamic Civilisation
- Animals Including Humans (how the heart and blood works)
- Algebra (don’t worry it’s not scary we promise!)
- The Victorians
- North America
- Leaver’s activities in the final half term
We work hard in Year 6, but we also have lots of fun. There is lots for you to look forward to and we hope that you enjoy your time in Year 6 as much as we do!
