Year 6: Key Information

September 2025:

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Year 6! 

We’ve had a really positive start to the year with your children and we are looking forward to building relationships and supporting them with their learning in the coming weeks and months. It is through working closely together with parents and carers that we aim to best prepare your children for the transition from Key Stage Two to Key Stage Three whilst giving them an enjoyable and educationally enriching year of learning. 

If you have any queries about anything mentioned on this website, or if you need to see us concerning other issues, we are happy to talk with you at a mutually convenient time; please do use the class@littlegreen email account to contact teachers about specific classroom issues. For all other information and requests, contact the school office as normal. 

Planners

The Year 6 children will shortly be allocated a planner to help them organise their homework, to write down reminders, and to independently be in control of passing on messages home (don't worry, the important bits will still be emailed!). Some weeks the planner will be busier than others. Please can you aim to sign your child's planner weekly for us to check on a Monday. Feel free to leave comments relating to your child's effort and attitude towards homework tasks for us to see, but this does not replace the class email system - messages in the planner from parents will not be responded to.

PE and Games days are as follows:

6E                Mr Hyde’s Class: Monday and Friday

6R               Miss Chhatralia Class: Thursday and Friday

6H                Miss Brauka's Class: Thursday and Friday

Children are required to come to school on these days dressed ready in their PE kit. We must stress however that trainers should be in school every day (in addition to school shoes) as we hope to include exciting curriculum opportunities that require physical activity. 

Whatsapp and Social Media

Despite children not being permitted to bring smart phones onto the school site, increasingly we are finding that behaviour on Whatsapp and other online applications is having an impact on learning and well-being in school. Whatsapp, Tik-Tok and other social media are platforms that we as a school simply cannot monitor and as a result we strongly request that you monitor your children’s behaviour when using the apps. The guidance by Whatsapp is that it should not be used by children under the age of thirteen and this is because many children are not emotionally mature enough to use the platform. Each year, we are increasingly finding that children are sending messages late at night to one another and very early in the morning too – sometimes these messages can be negative in content too. Children should not be involved in large ‘class’ or ‘year group’ Whatsapp', 'Messenger' or 'Snapchat', or any other social media platform, groups. Please reinforce this at home.

Swimming - As per separate communication...

6H                Miss Brauka's Class: This half term (Autumn 1)

6R                Mr Hyde's Class: Next half term (Autumn 2)

6E               Miss Chhatralia Class: After Christmas (Spring 1)

The Year 6 Team

We also have four fabulous teaching assistants in Mrs Wilson, Mrs Moss, Mrs Finch and Mr Brailsford, all of whom will be working with all of the children in the year group at different points in the term.
