St William of York Catholic Primary School
Welcome to Year 6!
Class Teachers - Miss McCrystal & Mrs Diaz
Teaching Assistants - Mrs Ambrose
With this being the children's last year in primary school, everyone at St William of York wants to make this last year as special as possible for the children. The children absolutely loved performing their Christmas production in the Autumn term. Last term, the children continued to enjoy completing the extra responsibilities they were given (buddies/play monitors/prefects/house captains), but most of all, the children loved their time at Robinwood! It was such a rewarding, enjoyable experience.
The fun isn't over yet though- this term, we have bikeability, the Year 6 assembly and our class party! The children also have their SATS, with more information being given within the next few weeks.
As well as exciting English and maths topics, our foundation topic for this term is a Geography topic all about Jamaica!
During this term, we will be reading 'The Giant’s Necklace' (Michael Morpurgo), 'The Watertower' (Gary Crew/Steven Woolman), 'Holes' (Louis Sachar) and the works of Shakespeare. We will also study poetry that links with our foundation subject topics. After the success last year, we will also be having focused Computing, Art and Design Technology weeks which the children will really enjoy.
If you have any questions or queries about anything, please do not hesitate to contact us.
