Welcome to Year 6!

A very warm welcome to Mrs Callender’s Year 6 class!

Mrs Callender is the class teacher, supported by our fantastic Teaching Assistants, Mrs Heywood and Mrs Sorvel.

Year 6 is such a special year. It is a year full of new challenges, exciting opportunities and brilliant memories as the children enjoy their final year at St John Fisher. There is so much to look forward to – interesting topics, great books, swimming, trips, special events and, of course, all of the celebrations and experiences that come with being our oldest children in school.

We have high hopes and high expectations for every child. We expect children to work hard, be kind, take responsibility and give things their best shot – but we also want them to enjoy coming to school, feel proud of themselves and have plenty of fun along the way. We are really excited about the year ahead and everything the children will achieve.

PE & Swimming: This term, Year 6 will be swimming on Thursday mornings.

Homework & Reading: Homework will be set on Friday and should be completed by the following Wednesday. Children should also complete a minimum of 3 Reading Plus lessons at home each week. This is in addition to reading for pleasure – we want our children to keep discovering books they love and to make reading a regular part of life at home.

Keeping up to date: Please check our newsletters for key dates, upcoming events and reminders throughout the year.

Most importantly, we want home and school to work together. If you ever have a question, concern or worry, please email me - [email protected].  No question is too small, and it is always better for us to know so that we can help.

We have a fantastic year ahead of us, and we can’t wait to see just how much our Year 6 children grow, achieve and shine!
