What is Year 6 in Stockton Wood like?
In Year 6, your teachers will expect you to work hard and always try your very best. We will challenge you to reach your full potential but we will also support you when you need a helping hand!
“Year 6 is fun and we have lots of opportunities to be role models and have extra responsibilities.” LW Year 6 2022

General Reminders
• Reading is an important part of everything we do in Year 6, so it is really important that you read a little every night. This will help you to develop your reading fluency and build your vocabulary. Reading books can be changed as soon as you are ready.
• Please bring a water bottle to school each day, containing water only.
• Children are encouraged to complete Times Table Rockstars and Spelling Shed at home. Additional tasks can be uploaded to Microsoft Teams. Look out for homework projects too – a chance for you and your child to get creative at home!
• Please keep practising your timetables up to 12 x 12 so that you are fluent, fast and confident.
• Class Dojos are used to celebrate achievements and praise efforts!
