Year 6

 

 

Welcome back after a slightly strange half term! We're looking forward to seeing you and your parents on Google Classrooms this week for our Parent Consultations. Make sure you've logged on and accepted the invitation to your class page rather than our usual year group one.

New Learning Packs are available for collection Monday and Tuesday ready to start being used from Wednesday. There is a Book Study booklet and a copy of Number The Stars for each of you to borrow and a Writing Booklet. A daily lesson will be posted so please don't race on ahead - you'll spoil the learning!

 

 Due to high demand nationally, some of the online resources may be unavailable at certain times.  If you have difficulties, please complete a different piece of home learning - perhaps from another day and try again later.  Thank you. 

We are also able to offer paper resources/printed packs for those of you whose children prefer to learn 'offline'
