Year 6

Hello and welcome to Blackman Class! We are named after the British author Malorie Blackman and will be working on several texts by this author through out the year. We hope that you are as excited as we are for the upcoming year.    

The adults who work in our class are:

We also work very closely with: 

- Mrs Pavey

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries throughout the year. 

Key notices:

PE: Monday and Thursday.

  • The children need to bring a full PE kit and water bottle on these days. Earrings must be removed or (if freshly pierced) the children need to bring in tape to cover them up. Adults in school will not remove earrings or provide tape. 

Homework:

  • Every Friday the children will take home a list of spellings and a maths focus to work on at home. They will be quizzed on these the following Friday. Please work on these at home so that the children are fully prepared for the quiz. 
  • Reading daily for at least 20minutes. Please sign reading logs. 
  • TT Rockstars - please access this as often as possible at home. 
  • Purple Mash - all children can access this learning tool from home.
