Year Six
Our Class teacher is: Mrs Guffogg and Mr Baker
Teaching Assistants: Miss Musselle and Mr Fitzgerald
Welcome to our Year 6 class page! This is a very special and exciting year for our pupils as they prepare for their transition to secondary school and take on greater responsibilities as the oldest children in our school.
In Year 6, we aim to develop confident, independent learners who are ready for their next stage of education. We work hard to build strong skills in reading, writing and mathematics, while also encouraging creativity, resilience and a love of learning across all subjects.
Our pupils take on important leadership roles within the school, acting as positive role models for younger children. Many of our Year 6 pupils will be selected as Rainbow Leaders. In this role, they will lead weekly sessions in our Rainbow Groups, where they deliver lessons to mixed-age groups about our school values and significant events across the year.
At all times, we encourage our oldest pupils to show kindness, integrity and tenacity in everything they do, both in and out of the classroom.
Throughout the year, children will experience a broad and engaging curriculum, including exciting foundation topics, educational visits and our all-important Year 6 residential, where our children will develop crucial skills and have unforgettable experiences that will stay with them for a lifetime.
We also prepare pupils for their KS2 SATs in a supportive and structured way, helping them to feel confident and well-prepared.
Another key aspect of Year 6 is preparation for transition to secondary education. Over the course of the year, and particularly in summer term, we will prepare the children for this transition and work closely with high schools to ensure that our children are as prepared as they can be!
Most importantly, as their last year at Litherland Moss, Year 6 is a year full of memorable experiences, where friendships grow stronger and children develop the skills, confidence and independence needed for the future.
Important Information.
By Year 6, students are expected to know their times tables to 12x12 and must endeavour to learn them to the best of their ability, doing so at home when possible.
Regular reading helps children to develop their fluency and comprehension skills, and in turn helps them to access the rest of the curriculum. Children may change reading books at school when they have finished them.
Children receive spellings weekly. They may be taken from the Year 5/6 statutory spelling list or high frequency words. A copy of this can be found below. These spellings should be practised as regularly as possible.
