Welcome to Year 6!

I hope you've all had a lovely summer and are ready to start your final year at St Matthew's! We have a fun-filled year ahead and I can't wait to get to know you all...

Here is some key information:

Homework: will continue to be set on a Tuesday and will be due in by the following Monday. Topic project homework will be sent home at the beginning of each half term.

Spellings: Spellings will be given out in a termly booklet - there is a spelling activity to complete each week and spellings will need to be practised ready for the class test every Friday.

Reading: Reading should be done every day and recorded in home-school diaries - these will be checked and signed on a Friday morning in preparation for the 'Reader of the week' award to be given out in celebration assembly.
