Welcome to Kites!

Kites are taught by Mrs Chilton and supported by Mrs Bradwell. We are delighted to welcome you to Year 6 and look forward to the exciting year ahead. This is a very important stage in your child’s journey through school, as they continue to grow in independence and prepare for the transition to secondary school. Throughout the year, we will face new challenges, build confidence and celebrate achievements together.

 

Our learning this year will cover a wide range of interesting and thought-provoking topics, including World War II, The Americas and Crime and Punishment. Alongside these, we will enjoy a selection of brilliant novels that link with and enhance our learning. In Kites, we aim to foster a genuine love of reading; we believe books open doors to knowledge, imagination and success. Children are encouraged to read regularly at school and at home, and we will always support them in finding the right book for them.

 

In Kites, our classroom ethos is built on our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience. We see ourselves as a community where teamwork and kindness are just as important as hard work. Together, we will create an environment where every child feels valued, motivated and ready to achieve their best - both academically and personally.

 

A few practical reminders:

 

Uniform: Pupils should arrive in full, correct school uniform each day (details can be found on the school website).

 

PE days: Indoor PE takes place on Monday and outdoor PE on Friday. Please ensure your child has the correct kit in school on these days.

 

Water bottles: Children should bring a labelled water bottle daily.

 

We believe that with effort and perseverance, every child can achieve wonderful things. In Kites, children are encouraged to share their ideas, take pride in their work and approach challenges with determination. Together, we will make Year 6 a year to remember!

 

Updates about class news and learning will be shared regularly on ClassDojo, which is also the best way to get in touch with myself or Mrs Bradwell.

 

We are excited to share this journey with you!
