Welcome to the Year 6 – Steel and Iron

Your Teacher’s Profile is on the way!

We’re gathering new information for our website and will soon be sharing introductions to our fantastic Teachers. Stay tuned!

 

Year 6 is an inspiring and exciting place where pupils grow into confident, responsible and independent learners.

It’s a year filled with teamwork, discovery and memorable moments, as children take on new challenges and prepare for the next stage of their education.

The classroom is a supportive, welcoming environment where everyone is encouraged to shine, try their best and celebrate their achievements. With engaging lessons, purposeful projects and plenty of opportunities to lead and succeed, Year 6 is a fantastic final year at Hillsborough.

Coming Soon!

We are very committed to building strong home / school links. We know that education is the most effective when there is a positive partnership between home and school. 

In Year 6 – Steel and Iron:

  • Children are encouraged to read at home every night.
  • This reading may be texts (both fiction and non-fiction) and/or newspapers.
  • We ask that adults at home question them about their reading to check understanding on at least three occasions weekly and support children with the development of their vocabulary.
  • Spelling and maths activities will be set every week. Parents can request a hard copy of this learning from the child’s class teacher.
  • We ask that parents/carers encourage their children to work as independently as possible on the activities provided.

Useful equipment to have at home: 

  • Pens
  • Pencils
  • Ruler
  • Colouring Pencils
  • Dictionary
  • Thesaurus
