Hello and welcome to our Year 6 class page.
The adults supporting your child in Year 6 this year are Miss. McTeague (Class Teacher) as well Miss Maksymuk (Teaching Assistant). Our phase leader is Miss. Doan - our Deputy Headteacher.
A member of the Year 6 team will greet your child on the door each morning. Please do not hesitate to speak to a member of the Year 6 team should you have any queries or questions and we will do all we can to help you.

READING
As part of our reading journey in Year 6, your child will have a 'Guided Reading' lesson every day where we will focus on a different skill each day.
During the course of the week, Miss Maksymuk will listen to children read on a 1:1 basis. Please ensure that your child brings their reading book and reading record to school each day.
Please continue to listen to your child read at home and sign their reading records as our 'Reading Raffle' will continue in Celebration Assembly 😊.
