'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' Philippians 4:13

Welcome to Year 6!

Our teacher is Mrs Blackburn and we are lucky to have Mrs Crofts as our teaching assistant. 

Mrs Marland teaches us on Friday afternoons. Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday (Chorley SSP).

Remember, it’s your final year at St Laurence's, so let’s make it count by trying our absolute best in all that you do, be brilliant and resilient and continue to make lots of wonderful memories along the way.

Homework

Children will be given some learning activities to complete at home to help reinforce the work being covered in lessons and to provide the children with the opportunity to share and extend their learning with adults at home. This is given out on a Friday. Please return homework by Thursday.

Children in Year 6 will be given the following activities:

• Daily reading
• Weekly spellings to learn linked to our phonics sound of the week
• A piece of Maths work or MyMaths task
• A piece of Reading or Writing work

Rewards

• Children can achieve stickers and team points.
• Children can achieve smiley faces for their work, for good effort in a lesson, outstanding behaviour, care and courtesy, helpfulness to others and for following the class rules. 
• Children can also be nominated for the Friday worship stickers.  Children can be nominated by any member of staff or welfare assistants.  For outstanding effort or success children may be awarded the Superstar award and children can also be nominated for our Writer of the Week award.
