Miss Shepherd, Mrs Hiller and Mrs Atherton 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 Monday morning. On our PE day, pupils should attend school wearing their PE kit consisting of plain black shorts, joggers or leggings, plain white t-shirt, school jumper and trainers.
Swimming
Swimming sessions will take place every Wednesday afternoon at Chorley Leisure Centre. All pupils will require the following kit: towel, swimming costume/shorts and swimming cap. Swimming kit should also be stored in a named bag. Please note that on Wednesdays, we will return to school at the slightly later time of 3:30 pm.
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 every week so that their home reading counts towards Read 4 the Stars.
Brass lessons
All year 6 pupils will get the chance to learn to play a brass instrument. Brass lessons will take place every Tuesday morning in the school hall and will be delivered by a specialist music teacher.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via ClassDojo.
Thank you for your continued support.
Miss Shepherd, Mrs Hiller and Mrs Atherton
