Welcome to Year 6.  This is your final year at Marsh Green and we know it will be a successful one!   It will also be a very busy one for all of us.  Please click on the subject links for examples of work, resources and key information to help you meet the expected standards for Year 6.   

Some Key Expectations:

• Spellings are provided on a Monday ready for a test on Friday.  Spellings are expected to be practised at home.   The weekly spellings are stuck in the diary.  You can learn through writing them down or through verbal practice.  These should be checked at home with an adult, ready for the test on Friday.  
• Reading: Reading is central to all we do in life.  It is a key life skill that can open doors to our future.  You are expected to read at home at least three times a week.  A comment about how you read should be written in your diary by an adult - this might relate to understanding of vocabulary, whether you need help pronouncing a word etc. You can read any book so long as you are enjoying it - it can even be stories from other cultures.  
• Diary: The school diary is expected to be in school every day.  When doing Guided Reading, your teacher will write a comment.  We will also find time to hear you read individually if you have a specific reading need. 
• Independence.  You will be beginning the process of transitioning to secondary school.  In order to transition, you need to develop your independence.  We encourage independent thought and ideas.   You are old enough now to know what you need to do and what you need for school. 

Key Information:

• Year 6NB do PE on Monday and 6AA on Friday.  Please ensure you have the correct PE kit.  Green tracksuit bottoms and black shorts are needed at all times.  Black trainers/plimsolls are ONLY to be worn on PE day.
• Clubs.  When applying for clubs, please note your parent will be informed if you have a place.  Clubs are very popular, therefore your parent should respond to the parentmail asap and wait for a reply.  Please do not assume you have a place in a club.
• Punctuality.   It is vital you arrive on time as learning begins at 8:40 am.   No time is wasted in Year 6 - we use the whole day to develop our learning!
