Welcome to year 6
Hello and welcome to the year 6 class page. My name is Mr Calderbank and I am looking forward to being your class teacher for this exciting and challenging year. Mrs Molyneux will be our teaching assistant providing support and guidance along the way.
Please keep checking our class page for important upcoming events and useful information. We will also keep you up to date with the children's learning journey by sharing photographs. In addition to this, we will provide useful links to enable you to support your child's learning at home.
Year 6 PE Tuesday 29th September
Year 6 PE will not take place on Tuesday 29th September as it is school photo day. Please ensure children attend school in school uniform. PE will take place on Friday 2nd October instead.
HISTORY CELEBRATION DAY!
Dear Parent’s/Carers
St Bridget’s will be holding a ‘History Celebration Day’ on Thursday 15th October. This is an opportunity for the children to come to school dressed up as historical figures, relating to their current topic.
This term, year 6 are learning about the Tudors. A home learning activity will be sent home shortly which the children will be able to share with each other on the celebration day.
We look forward to having a class full of Tudor kings, queens and peasants!
Mr Calderbank and Mrs Molyneux
