Welcome to Year 6
Welcome to our Year 6 page. Here you will find useful information about our termly curriculum, PE days, homework expectations and useful websites.
Our school values are: READY, RESPECTFUL, SAFE and KIND.
We’re excited to be preparing for our upcoming trip to Runway’s End! There’s lots to look forward to, with opportunities for pupils to try new activities, challenge themselves and make some fantastic memories together. Please see the presentation below for more information about the trip and what pupils can expect.

Sellwood - Miss Roper
Westwood - Mrs Major and Mrs Scorey
Our PE Days
We would like children to have their PE kit in school every day, however, we understand that they do need washing, so children may take them home over the weekend and bring them back the following week. P.E. kits will be sent home at the end of each term.
Please ensure your child has trainers in school at all times, for the Golden Mile.
Our P.E days are Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Homework
Homework is always given out on a Friday and hand-in day is Wednesday.
In Year 6, each week, children are expected to complete:
Reading for 30 minutes a day for 4 days (this could include a story before bedtime)
Spellings practice for 10 minutes a day for 4 days
Times Tables practice (TT Rockstars) for 10 minutes a day for 4 days
If children cannot complete their homework at home, they should attend 'Homework Club' which is on a Wednesday lunchtime.
Homework help
Please see the link on key grammatical terms that your child will be learning about.
At Netley Abbey Junior School, we use the ‘VIPERS’ to help us answer questions about the books that we read. Your child should know all about these in Year 6, but here is a link with questions that you might like to use at home when reading with your child.
