Information for Parents
Stockton Wood is a Restorative School. In Year 6 we use emojis to check-in to share how we are feeling and this helps us to manage our feelings.
Y6 children can look forward to a great year of learning, including listening to stories by new authors, learning outdoors, exploring the world around them as scientists and being physically active.
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!
Class Dojos are used to celebrate achievements and praise efforts!
Year 6 Timetable
6B P.E Day: Monday
6S P.E. Day: Monday
P.E. kit includes: a plain pale blue t-shirt, navy shorts/ jogging bottoms and a pair
of black pumps or trainers to take part in PE. Your child can come to school
wearing their P.E. kit on their class days.
General Reminders
Reading is at the heart of everything we do, so please try to encourage your child to read every night. Reading little and often will really help the children to make good progress.
Reading books can be changed as soon as they are completed.
Your child can bring a water bottle to school, containing water only.
Look out for our homework matrix! These activities will explore our wider curriculum, offer creative challenges and an opportunity to earn dojos!

Arts Council
Introducing our new Art Council, these children in Year 4 to 6 will be busy this year with lots of art projects.
Dyslexia Awareness
This afternoon in assembly, we discussed how dyslexia can affect different things for different people. A person with dyslexia can be good at some things but need support with other things. It is important to remember that people with dyslexia also have great strengths too and that at our school we support each other no matter what our differences are.
Year 6 Maths Party Day
Year 6 looked at Maths and Art in real life and created tessellations!
Year 6- Gee Walker
Year 6 had the privilege of meeting Gee Walker (Anthony Walker’s mother), who came in to speak about the importance of forgiveness when faced with adversity. The children asked some fantastic questions and showed such kindness and respect towards Gee- they were a credit to our school.

This morning, Year 6 joined in with a ballet zoom where we learned about ballet through the years and then had a go at some of the positions.
