Golden Eagle

Golden Eagles Class

Class Teachers: Miss L Edwards

Doves Class

Class Teachers: Mr Fagan

Welcome to our Year 6 Classes

My name is Mr. Fagan and I am the teacher of Doves class. As History lead I enjoy teaching any form of the subject thoroughly, I always try my hardest to fit some history into any topic. My favourite subjects are English (I love creative writing) and History (it’s all around us, we just need to look).

My name is Miss Edwards, and I am the teacher of Golden Eagles Class

PE Day: Golden Eagles and Doves PE day is Thursday. Please ensure that your child has the correct PE Kit, which can be found on our Uniform Page.

Home Learning

In Year 6, the children are expected to read at home each day, for at least 10 minutes. The school is currently in the process of implementing the Accelerated Reader scheme. More information will be communicated later about this.

Children are expected, alongside their weekly spellings every Friday, to learn the time’s tables shared with them by the class teacher. A times tables test will commence every Friday. Every Friday home learning will be set of Freckle Maths: Online Learning Platform.

Year 6 are expected to read at home daily, this should also be recorded in their reading record book. Which should be shown at school daily.

New Year 6 spellings are given out every Friday afternoon.

Revision Resources

Revision helps pupils to retain and confidently recall important information that they’ve learnt in their lessons. Here are some tips to remember when revising:

  • Little and often (once a day) is better than one big push
  • Get enough rest (tired minds don’t work as well)
  • Drink plenty of fluids (thirsty minds do not work as well)
  • Give yourself rewards if you complete your work everyday
  • Ask if you find something you don’t understand
