Welcome to Year 6 Yellow Base
Mrs Craig, Mr Cousins and Mr Fox are excited to welcome you to Year 6 in Orange Base!
This is our class page, where you can find all the important information you’ll need
throughout the year.
Our school day begins at 8:40am, with doors open until 8:50am. The school day finishes at
3:20pm.
In Yellow Base, our PE days are Tuesday (indoor) and Thursday (outdoor). Children
should come to school in their PE kit on these days. This should include: trainers, black
shorts or bottoms, a white t-shirt, and a black zip-up jacket. Please ensure that earrings are removed before PE or that your child can remove them independently. Long hair must also be tied back.
Homework
● Reading: Children should read daily for 10–15 minutes, aiming for at least 5 times a
week. Children can choose to read a book from the classroom, library or home.
● Spellings: Weekly spellings will be sent home along with a spelling plan each half
term. Children will be set spellings on "Spelling Shed" which they can practise at home on their Spelling Shed account. Children should also practise key words from the Key Stage 2 spelling lists,
which will be provided as needed.
● Maths: The focus will be on fluency. Children should practise times tables and
number facts using their Times Table Rock Stars account.
We will also provide knowledge organisers and set a half-termly homework project linked to
the topic being studied in class.
Our topic for half term one is the Victorians.
We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead, full of engaging and enjoyable learning
opportunities!
