About Year 6
Our themes this term are –
Beyond Face Value
Liverpool’s Lifetime
Physical Education (PE)
Our P.E days are Monday and Friday. Please ensure your child comes in to school on these days wearing their P.E Kit. Please ensure that all items of kit are clearly labelled with your child’s name. For health and safety reasons, children cannot wear jewellery for PE, so all children need to either be able to remove their earrings or they should be removed in the morning before school.
PE Kit
- Plain white t-shirt
- Navy, black, grey leggings or jogging bottoms
- Navy sweatshirt
- Sensible trainers (or plimsoles to be kept in school for indoor PE)
- Navy, black or grey shorts for indoor PE
Homework
Homework will be reading, spelling and times tables.
Reading
Please ensure your child is reading at least three times a week and please sign it in their reading record book. Reading at home will be recorded daily in each class. Our Somerville Story Spine is stuck inside their reading record books so please discuss these books with your child and see which ones they have read.
Spellings
Children will receive weekly spellings every Friday to be tested the following Thursday. Children all have a login for Spelling Shed where they can play games to learn their spellings. Children also need to learn the statutory Y5/6 spellings. This list is stuck in their reading record books.

Children all have a login for Times Table Rockstars to build up speed with their times tables.
