Welcome to Oak Class

Hello and welcome to Year Six, Oak class. Our teacher is Miss Giddings and our teaching assistant is Mrs Hall.

Year six is a very challenging year academically but also socially; with SATs and secondary school getting increasingly closer the children will feel the pressure. However, my aim is to make the year fun and memorable and ensure the children leave Newtown as well prepared for their next journey as possible. The children will have many fun opportunities this year with a residential trip to Braeside, the end of year production, other topic related excursions as well as organising and leading events within the school. Yes, it will be hard work, but it most definitely will be rewarding. All I ask is that the children try their best and show kindness to others. We are a team in Oak class, and I cannot wait to embark on this journey with the children and I am excited for the many enjoyable moments I know Year Six will bring!

Key things to remember:

• PE kit needs to be in school every day
• Children are expected to read daily and record this in the back of their learning destination book. Parents, please listen to them as often as possible.
• Before reading in the evening, children must practise their weekly spellings (these are tested on a Friday)
• Maths homework and SPAG will be set weekly and is linked to what the children are learning about in class.
• The learning destination book can be used for any additional home learning that your child wishes to do.
