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.

Mr Gannaway is the class teacher and Miss Minarikova is the learning support assistant. On this page, you will find information about Year 6 news, curriculum information, photos to capture our learning and much more...  

Our Class Country

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

Writing

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 as familiarity with them will help during the writing process.

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
