Welcome to Colorado!

In Year 6, we work hard to create purposeful and memorable learning opportunities for all of our children and support them fully to develop their confidence, independence and resilience as learners and beyond. 

Children are encouraged to ask questions, engage in rich discussions and begin to take more responsibility for their own learning journey. Our learning environment promotes learning, positive relationships and helps children to be the best they can be! We really want the children to 'let their light SHINE.'

Home Learning

CGP Books:

In Year 6, the children are sent home with weekly pages from their CGP books (2 pages for Maths, 2 pages for SPaG).

These books are to be returned on Wednesday so we can mark them in school with the children, with new pages being set on Friday.

Spellings:

Children are taught 10 spelling words each Wednesday, to be tested the following Wednesday.

To find which spelling words the children will be tested on each week, please visit our UKS2 page.

Reading:

Children should be reading at least 3 times per week. Please log your child's reading on Boomreader. 

Times Tables Rock Stars:

Children are set 2x 10 minute sessions on TTRS per week. Please ensure your child is completing these sessions regularly to maintain their quick recall of multiplication facts.

Class Updates

Autumn Update:

What a start to the year we have had! The children have settled incredibly well into Year 6 and have made a fantastic start to the Autumn term. We began the year with Bike Ability, where the class showed real resilience, determination and were excellent role models for our school. After such a positive start outdoors, it was wonderful to see them bring that same focus and enthusiasm back into the classroom. They truly impressed me with their dual-perspective narrative writing, capturing each character’s personality, feelings and viewpoint while using a range of higher-level writing techniques.

Thank you for the wonderfully creative, detailed and engaging home-learning projects in history and geography. It is amazing to see how captivated the children are by their learning. It is also fantastic to see them arriving at school each day so eager and enthusiastic to learn.

We are very much looking forward to the exciting events still to come this term, including the pantomime, the UKS2 carol concert, and much more!
