Y6: Redwood
Welcome to Year 6!
Welcome to Year 6.
The Y6 class teacher is Ms Sharp, assisted by Ms McGrath and Mr. Dwyer.
This year the class are working diligently on the final year of their primary education and on preparing themselves for secondary school. In spite of the pressures of SATs’ preparation and taking external entrance examinations, we aim to offer a broad, balanced and creative curriculum to ensure that the children move into the wider world as fully-rounded, responsible citizens. All the staff are united in trying to ensure that the children are successfully fulfilling their potential and growing in self-confidence. Year 6 have many positions of responsibility around the school, from House Captains, to Digital Leaders, to Worship Support and corridor monitors.
We see communication between home and school as being essential to the children’s learning. While this site helps, please feel assured that you can communicate with us at any time; the best way to do this is via email to the school office.
Our Topic Web will be updated each term to show the learning sequence and enrichment activities for that period. We love our trips and workshops in Year 6, as these enrich so much of our learning, so please look out for separate letters and advice about these.

P.E Days
In Redwood class, our P.E. days are Monday and Friday.
On these days, pupils should come to school wearing their P.E. kit and may remain in it for the full day. Please ensure your child has the correct school P. E. kit and footwear, all clearly labelled. As the weather gets cooler, pupils will need a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a jumper/ hoodie for outdoor P.E.
