Year 6

Welcome to our Year 6 page!

Year 6 have our eagerly awaited ‘Health and Fitness’ days on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th October! Part of the activities include a visit from GB Athlete Heather Olver. The children will be running a fun fitness circuit alongside Heather and asking for sponsorship for this. The funds will help the Orchards purchase new sports equipment and support future GB athletes also. As an added bonus, children will receive prizes for reaching certain milestones!

If you would like to donate, please feel free to use the QR code on the sponsor form sent home with your child, on the Orchards Arbor page or if necessary, via cash.

Many thanks for your support.

Throughout Year Six, various accolades will be awarded to children who have really impressed us. These include:

  • Postcards of Excellence which get posted home outlining the achievement.
  • Year Six Superstars who receive a badge and take part in Hall’s Happy Hour which involves baking cupcakes to take home.    


Homework booklets have been sent home with the children. This is a geography/general knowledge based project that we are sure the children will enjoy. Please can the children complete the activities on a weekly basis and then bring the booklet back as they complete each task. Raffle tickets will be awarded for exceptional effort. These are drawn half-termly for a £5 WH Smith gift voucher.

MyMaths homework will be set on a Tuesday and will be due in the following Tuesday. As this is a core curriculum subject this is a compulsory task.

Many thanks for your cooperation
