Welcome to our Year 6 Class at St James’
Welcome to Year 6, my name is Mr Monaghan and I am the Class Teacher. Our Teaching Assistant in Year 6 is Mrs Judd. In Year 6, the children will focus on SATs preparation during their Maths and English lessons. However, we make sure we have a lot of fun in all other subjects along the way. Our one class rule is “try your best”; this is all I ever ask of the children in Year 6. We have lots of rewards for 100% effort in class, one of which is meeting up with our special friends in Reception Class during “Golden Time”.
Year 6 Noticeboard
- Homework is given out each Friday and should be returned for the following Tuesday.
- Spellings are handed out on a Monday and will be tested on a Friday. In Year 6 if children misplace their spellings spares are readily available.
- Accelerated reader – The children will read their reading books for 15 minutes every Monday, Tuesday and Friday. The children can take their book home for extra reading at the weekend, but this must come back on Monday ready to read in class.
- PE in Year 6 is on Thursdays. Make sure you have your full St James PE kit.
- Please bring fresh water daily.
Hi Year 6,
It’s Mr Monaghan here. I hope you have had a wonderful summer and don’t worry; you will be back with your friends very soon.
I have left a maths challenge for you all to have a go at, and also a separate sheet with the answers if you need them. From left to right, it becomes more and more challenging, so just have a go at the level you feel you can complete. No pressure to do the hardest ones.
I have also left a picture for you to look at for guided reading, so no reading at all is needed, it is all based on the picture 🙂Feel free to have a go at the various challenges underneath it. You can do as little or as many of them as you want to.
Finally, we will be looking at biomes in Geography when you return, so feel free to research what that is all about by using Google to search Biomes KS2.
No pressure, and I will see you very soon.
Mr Monaghan

WEDNESDAY WORK
Maths – Emoji codebreaker. Pick your level of challenge. 3 stars will provide a good challenge. Answers are there too, to check your work at the end.
Literacy – Think about a book you have read over summer, or a film you have recently watched. Complete either the book review sheet or the film review sheet.
History – We will be looking at the Stone Age in real detail when you are back in school with me. Feel free to get ahead of the game and do a little research on the Stone Age. I have attached a Horrible Histories for this if you want to watch that.
Year 6 have been moving their bodies this week. We have researched how exercise impacts on our bodies in our recent HIIT session. We really enjoyed our recent trip to The Beacon of Light for a Commando Joe’s day. We found the RAP event really informative, thank you to the fire station for hosting this! Phew we definitely need a restful weekend.
