Miss Shepherd and Mrs Refoy welcome you to Sycamore Class.  

This is an exciting time for our pupils as they enter the final stage of their primary school journey.  Whether your child has been with us from the start of their educational journey or has joined us on the way, many memories have been made and there are still more to come!    

In Sycamore Class, we always aim high and strive to achieve our potential.  We also know that making mistakes is a sign that we are trying so we’re not afraid to make them, and subsequently learn from them.   

In addition to some of the special year 6 responsibilities such as Head Boy, Head Girl and prefect roles, year 6 is also an important year which provides pupils with the opportunity to develop a certain level of independence before the transition to high school.   

Key information 

PE 

PE takes place every Tuesday afternoon.  Due to current guidelines, on our PE day, pupils should attend school wearing their PE kit consisting of plain or grey black shorts, joggers or leggings, plain white t-shirt, school jumper and trainers.   

Swimming 

Swimming will recommence on Wednesdays for all pupils.  the first session will be Wednesday 10th March.  

Read 4 the Stars 

All pupils are encouraged to read at least 4 times per week so that they can participate in the Read 4 the Stars reward scheme.  Please ensure that you sign your child’s reading record so that their reading each week will count towards it.  

Brass lessons 

All year 6 pupils will continue learning to play their brass instrument.  The brass lessons take place every Wednesday morning and will be delivered by a specialist teacher.   

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via ClassDojo.  

Thank you for your continued support.
