Summer Term 1

As we enter the final term of Year 6, we are incredibly proud of how hard the children have worked and the dedication they have shown to their learning. This term begins with a focus on revising and preparing for the upcoming SATs. The children have shown great commitment, and we are confident they will approach the tests with resilience and positivity. We’re here to support them every step of the way and know they’ll do themselves proud. A letter will be sent out soon with details about our SATs Breakfast, which will be available each morning of SATs week to give the children a calm, encouraging start to the day – and a good boost of energy too!

In PE, the children will be building on their handball skills, applying what they’ve learnt in friendly tournaments to help develop their teamwork and tactical understanding. Alongside this, they will be developing key physical skills such as dynamic balance, jumping, and agility through our Real PE curriculum. These foundational skills will support their wider participation in sports, including tag rugby later in the term.

Looking ahead, we are thrilled to be starting auditions and rehearsals for our school production of Matilda! This is always a highlight of the summer term, and there’s lots of excitement in the air as we begin planning. Whether your child wants to audition for a speaking or singing role or would prefer to be involved behind the scenes, there is a part for everyone. Opportunities include stage crew, sound crew, lighting, and background roles – we’re looking forward to seeing the whole year group shine in different ways.

Best wishes, 

Year 6
