Welcome to the Year 6 – Steel and Iron

Your Teacher’s Profile is on the way!

We’re gathering new information for our website and will soon be sharing introductions to our fantastic Early Years Teachers. Stay tuned!

 

Year 6 is an inspiring and exciting place where pupils grow into confident, responsible and independent learners.

It’s a year filled with teamwork, discovery and memorable moments, as children take on new challenges and prepare for the next stage of their education.

The classroom is a supportive, welcoming environment where everyone is encouraged to shine, try their best and celebrate their achievements. With engaging lessons, purposeful projects and plenty of opportunities to lead and succeed, Year 6 is a fantastic final year at Hillsborough.

Coming Soon!

We are very committed to building strong home / school links. We know that education is the most effective when there is a positive partnership between home and school. 

In Year 6 – Steel and Iron:

  • Children are encouraged to read at home every night.
  • This reading may be texts (both fiction and non-fiction) and/or newspapers.
  • We ask that adults at home question them about their reading to check understanding on at least three occasions weekly and support children with the development of their vocabulary.
  • Spelling and maths activities will be set every week. Parents can request a hard copy of this learning from the child’s class teacher.
  • We ask that parents/carers encourage their children to work as independently as possible on the activities provided.

Useful equipment to have at home: 

  • Pens
  • Pencils
  • Ruler
  • Colouring Pencils
  • Dictionary
  • Thesaurus
