Welcome
to Year 6
Mrs Walker
Meet your teacher
Mrs Walker
Hello, My name is Mrs Walker and I cannot wait to join Ashwood as your new Y6 teacher and Assistant Headteacher. I enjoy reading with my class; I like to share a story from start to finish and discuss how the plot develops. I also read a lot in my spare time too so please come and share some of the books you are reading at home! I also enjoy art and trying to recreate famous pieces.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, and my three dogs. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks; the longer the better! I also really like live music.
Meet your Teaching Assistant
Miss Hinchliffe
Hello, I am Miss Hinchcliffe and I cannot wait to be working with you in Y6! I have been a teaching assistant for 15 years now and worked across all key stages but mainly support in upper key stage 2. During my time at Rawmarsh Ashwood I have provided support and interventions for all year groups – helping others to learn, grow and strive to be the best they can be. When I’m not teaching I love walking my dog, reading and spending time with my family.
Class Information
Our ClassDojo account will be updated regularly with lots of messages, dojo points and picture updates – it is important that you are engaging with this on a regular basis. Some transition activities will also be posted there so let me know if you’re having trouble setting it up. Homework will be given weekly and will be marked in school time. Your attendance this year is extremely important and is the key to your success. Please ensure you are on time, every day and ready to learn in the classroom. I’ll see you in September!
Areas of Learning
This year we will be covering many exciting topics across all subject areas. From going back in time and discovering what the world was like hundreds of years ago in History to understanding how the world works in Science.
We will also have PE twice a week. For this you will need to have black PE shorts/trousers and a white t-shirt.
In addition to this, we will be covering a range of genres in reading and writing – enabling us to develop our writing skills and become confident writers.
In maths, we will be exploring numbers to 1 million as well as diving into more tricky areas such as fractions and decimals (Don’t worry we will perservere and get through this together!)
