Year 6

                             Welcome to Year 6!

It’s your final year at St Luke's and July will come in the blink of an eye! This year is going to be a lot of fun, learning and hard work!  I can’t wait for us to settle into our routines and make some amazing memories together.

Mrs East is the class teacher and Miss Minarikova is the learning support assistant. Mr Gannaway also teaches in Class 6 on Tuesday and Wednesday. On this page, you will find information about Year 6 news, curriculum information, photos to capture our learning and much more...  

We are all looking forward to an exciting Autumn term, focusing on our topic of energy - 'We've got the Power'. Our first week back will be a special 'Wellbeing' week. Quickly followed by a fabulous week long residential of adventurous activities to look forward to. We are aiming to grow as a team together.

Our Class Country

We will also be learning all about our adopted country - USA. 

Talk For Writing

As a Talk 4 Writing school, we place emphasis on children learning to orally retell different types of texts using story maps and actions. Throughout the year, children will learn approximately 9-12 model texts. We ask all parents to support children with learning these texts at home orally, so that children can use them to create their own versions.

The table below highlights the text types and texts that we are learning in Year 6. The table will be updated and added to throughout the year. Please download the texts and story maps and practise retelling them.  Aim to retell the texts with actions and expression!

Year 6 Suggested Reading

The government have published a list of words that they expect years 5 & 6 to be able to spell.  You will find it helpful for revising in the lead-up to SATs. Please encourage your child to make use of the 'Spelling Shed' website to help support the learning of these spellings, as well as their weekly spelling rule. Thank you. https://www.spellingshed.com
