Year 6

Welcome to Year 6, Hawks and Eagles classes! Our Class Teachers are Mrs Harris and Miss Short. Our Teaching Assistants are Mrs Currey and Mr Monks.

As we are in our final year at Derwent we work hard but we always try to make our learning fun! We enjoy English and mathematics every day and have science once a week. We usually have PE twice a week; the days for this will be shared in the new timetable. Please make sure that there are no multi-coloured leggings or tops or hoodies with logos on other than the Derwent one. We want to promote Y6 as the example for the top of the school and be able to give a great example to all the younger children. 

Spanish music instrumental lessons and Art and DT will be taught by specialists but everything else by our Class Teacher. Our homework consists of a weekly maths and English task as well as weekly spellings and mathematics tasks linked to our curriculum. Children are encouraged to read and discuss our books with someone at home at least 3 times a week.
