Year 6 2025 - 2026
Welcome to Year 6!
In Year 6, we have three classes:
Class 6J - Mr Jones
Class 6HE - Mrs Hardwick and Mrs Evans
The classes are supported by Mrs Dodgson, Mrs Quarterman and Mrs Smart
As we embark on this exciting journey into the new academic year, we are thrilled to be welcoming your children into what will be their last year here at Underwood West.
Year 6 is a place of growth, curiosity, and creativity, and we are committed to providing a stimulating and nurturing environment for your child's educational journey. To ensure smooth sailing and maximise learning opportunities, we would like to share some important information:
PE
PE lessons will take place every Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure your child arrives at school in their full school uniform and brings their PE kit to change into before the lesson. This will ensure they are prepared for physical activities and have a fantastic time while staying fit.
Staying hydrated
We encourage children to bring their water bottles to school each day. Proper hydration is vital for maintaining focus and energy levels. These water bottles should go back home at the end of each day in order to be washed ahead of the next day.
Healthy eating
In our effort to promote a healthy and positive learning environment, we kindly request that children refrain from bringing fizzy drinks and chocolate to school. Instead, we encourage them to opt for healthier choices to fuel their growing minds and bodies.
Reading
We encourage all children to read at least three times a week. The class teacher will be checking this regularly, and we promise special prizes from Mrs. Jones for those who read 10, 20, 50, and even 100 times throughout the year.
Uniform
We believe that a smart appearance fosters a sense of pride in our children here at Underwood West. We kindly request that children wear exemplary school uniforms, including completely black footwear (these can be trainers). Our dress code consists of grey or black trousers, a white or grey polo shirt, and a purple school jumper.
We can't wait for a year filled with fun, growth, and unforgettable moments. We look forward to building a strong partnership with you, as parents and guardians, to ensure the best possible experience for your child.
Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have along the way. Let's make this a fantastic year together!
The Year 6 team.
