Welcome to Year 6 

Hello! I'm Miss Cartwright, the Year 6 teacher at Frodsham CE. We are lucky to have a fantastic team working with the class; Mrs Gardiner and Miss Forster support us each morning, Mrs Palfreyman teaches science on Wednesday mornings and Mrs Williams teaches PE on Wednesday afternoons - a busy day! 

Year 6 is an exciting and important year, full of fascinating topics and opportunities. So far, children have learnt lots about World War Two, in our autumn units. During the spring term, we will be focusing on the local area, in particualr the human and physical geography in Frodsham.

Learning at home 

To best support learning: 

Spelling - Children have completed a spelling assessment to create a personlised spelling grid. They will practice their weekly words, little and often during the school week and the same can be done at home. 

TT Rockstars - Timestable practice hugely supports children's maths progress. Log ins are on the inside cover of maths homework books. 

Reading - Children can choose books from school and record reading in their reading records. In Year 6, our focus is comprehension (discussion around the text, meanings, characters etc.) 

Homework - Set every Friday and due the following Wednesday. We'll be focusing on punctuality with homework to help prepare the children for their transition to secondary school.
