St Paul's and All Hallows' C of E School

Welcome to Year 6

This year is a very important year for children as they come to the end of their time at primary school. We have two main focuses in year six:

- to prepare each child for secondary school as best we can

- to get the children ready for their SATs tests in May.

Year 6 is hard but we try to make it as interesting as possible.

You can help us by making sure your child reads at home regularly. We cannot stress how important this is. The ability to read fluently and quickly is probably the most important skill your child needs.

Letters sent home regarding events in year 6 will be here so you can always find a copy. 

This week's homework is below.

Maths is about different types of number. The questions are about prime numbers and square numbers. You were given one of the sheets on the document below. You can do the others if you want to practice.

The literacy is about the difference between active and passive in sentences. This is not below as the answers are on the document. Just don't lose the copy you were given!

We are going to be focusing on times tables in St Cecilia. Rapid recall of facts is essential in year 6 as it makes much of the work easier. The school has signed up to an online site so children can practise at home. Your child will have been given a username and password.
