Year 6 are taught by Miss Annison and Mrs Guyett-Smith and Miss Tuckley (on a Thursday afternoon in 6GS).

Mrs Billing and Mrs Prince are our Year 6 Teaching Assistants.

All children will have a colour-banded book and a library book, as required, to take home and they will be able to change this every Tuesday. If they need to change before their library day they are to liaise with the school teacher. Year 6 PE days are Wednesdays and Fridays – PE kit is to be worn to school on these days.

Home Learning is provided and to be returned via your child’s Google Classroom. If you need to contact the team please email: enquiries@kgagomer.uk

Please see below for a Curriculum Overview for the year.

Supporting Your Child with SATs

We kindly ask you not to use the 2023 and 2024 SATs papers for practice at home, as these will be completed in school. By reserving these papers for in-school assessments, we can ensure they provide an accurate reflection of your child’s knowledge and progress. This enables us to tailor our support effectively. Please use these resources:

Reading: Reading Booklet, Reading Paper, Reading Answer Booklet

PGS: Punctuation and Grammar Paper, Spelling Paper, SPAG Answer Booklet

Maths: Arithmetic Paper, Reasoning (Paper 2), Reasoning (Paper 3), Maths Answer Booklet

For additional support, we have created two dedicated folders on the Classwork page of Google Classroom:

• Help with Home Learning
• SATs Practise at Home

We encourage you to explore these resources and use them to guide your child’s preparation. Our parents attended a meeting with our Year 6 teachers in September. See below

Autumn Term 2026

Welcome to Year 6 – Our Final Adventure at Gomer! We are looking forward to the 2026-2027 learning journey ahead. The autumn term is already looking busy, exciting and full of opportunities for the children to challenge themselves, develop their independence and build on the skills they have already gained.

In English, we will be beginning the year in a truly magical way with a focus on Harry Potter. This will help inspire our fiction writing, including setting descriptions and character descriptions, as the children explore how authors create atmosphere, detail and imagination. Our writing units across the term will be engaging and wide ranging, moving from fiction into non-fiction, including diary entries and information texts. We will also use our G-Reader text, Impossible Creatures, as a rich stimulus for reading, discussion and writing.

In reading, the children will explore a fantastic range of texts, including Harry Potter, The Nowhere Emporium, Peter Pan and Treasure Island. We will also look at non-fiction and historical texts, including extracts linked to the Titanic and The Diary of Anne Frank, as well as a variety of texts connected to geography and history.

In maths, we will begin by securing our understanding of place value and the four operations before moving on to fractions, properties of shape, area, volume and perimeter. In science, the children will investigate light, including how rainbows are formed, before exploring electrical circuits and testing which materials make the best conductors.

Across the wider curriculum, Year 6 will investigate extreme weather and earthquakes, with a particular focus on Japan, before moving into history and learning about Tudor maritime power and Portsmouth’s important role in the Navy. In computing, the children will develop their programming skills using Micro, link their learning to Morse code and encryption, and later explore 3D modelling by designing and printing Christmas decorations.

The children will also enjoy a creative range of art and DT opportunities, including sketching, shading, watercolours and wax resist, as well as exploring the work of architect Renzo Piano to inspire their own 3D model designs. Music will include glockenspiels and classroom jazz, while PE will develop skills through striking and fielding, invasion games, and net and wall activities.

We are looking forward to a fantastic autumn term full of creativity, curiosity, teamwork and challenge. Year 6 is such an important and exciting year, and we cannot wait to see the children grow in confidence, independence and enthusiasm as they begin their final year with us.
