Class 8 (Year 6) - Mr Dowding

Hello and Welcome to Class 8!

The teacher of Class 8 is Mr Dowding. We are so fortunate to be supported in class by Mrs Foreman and Mrs Dowding.

Year 6 is a busy year as children work hard to be prepared for end of KS2 assessments.

Reading Journals

As ever, reading is such a big focus this year. Your child will bring their reading journal home with them daily. We encourage children to read at home every night and write a comment in their journals.

Water Bottles

Children can bring a water bottle to school. It should be labelled with your child's name. Children will bring their bottles home daily for cleaning. 

Homework 

Spelling

Children will receive weekly spellings homework on a Friday via the Spelling Shed App. Children should practise these at home through the week. Please speak to Mr Dowding with any issues logging in.  

Maths

Children will receive weekly maths homework on a Friday via the Maths Shed app/website. Children should aim to complete this by the following Friday. Please speak to Mr Dowding with any issues logging in. 

PE

Year 6 pupils will be swimming every Monday up to Christmas. Please ensure the relevant kit is in school. Your child's PE day is a Thursday. Please ensure you child has the school PE kit of black shorts/joggers, a white t-shirt and appropriate footwear. Hoodies/jumpers can be worn in colder weather.
