Year 6 …
We are looking forward to seeing you all very soon!
Things are a little different but please don’t worry.
Here is what to expect on your first day back …
What time should I arrive at school?
The gates will be open from
8:30-9:00am for you to arrive
at school.
You should use the normal
Year 6 doors to come in.
There will be no waiting in the playground - you
should come straight in and sensibly walk up the
stairs. You will see special markers to help you to
keep your distance from other children.
There will be teachers and teaching assistants in the
playground to remind you of what you need to do.
What should I bring to school with
me?
Coat (wet weather)
Hat (hopefully, this sunny weather will continue!)
(Please also remember to apply sun cream before school).
Morning snack
Lunch box
Water bottle
Pencil case (wipe clean only – please don’t bring in large
or fluffy pencil cases).
As always, please try to label all belongings! Thank you!
What will I do with my belongings?
We will not be using the cloakrooms.
You should bring your coat/hat, bag,
snack and lunch box into the
classroom.
These will be kept next to your table.
There are special
markings on the floor
to help you to
remember social
distancing.
What will the classroom look like?
All the tables have been spaced apart so you will
have your own special work station.
On your table, you will have a tray with all the
equipment you will need – we won’t be having
shared pencil pots.
Your tray will include a pencil, rubber, ruler,
sharpener, glue stick, scissors, mini whiteboard,
pen, skipping rope, head phones and your jotter.
We have special boxes of crayons/felt tips we can
give you but you may prefer to bring your own
wipe clean pencil case with your own pens, felt
tips or gel pens.
Windows and doors will be kept open in the
classrooms and corridors.
What will the classroom look like?
6R
The tables are no longer in
table groups.
Everyone will have their
own special work station.
All pen pots have been
removed – you will have
your own individual supply
of resources.
A laptop will be assigned to
you and we will wipe these
down before and after use.
What will the classroom look like?
6H
Everyone
will have
their own
individual
supply of
resources in
their own
tray.
What should I wear to school?
You should wear your summer school uniform or
PE kit.
You should wear trainers rather than school
shoes.
Ideally, you should try to have your clothes
washed following a day in school.
What is meant by the term ‘bubble?’
Both classes have been divided into two groups: bubble
A and bubble B.
This means that there will be a maximum of 15
children instead of 30.
The children in your bubble are the class mates you
will learn, have lunch and play outside with.
Your bubble with have your class teacher and teaching
assistant(s).
By having smaller groups, we can follow social
distancing – just as you have seen people doing in
shops and in your community.
Which adults will teach me?
6R will be taught by Miss Roberts.
6H will be taught by Mr Hawley.
Mrs Berry will be the teaching assistant in 6R.
Mrs K and Mrs Laing will be the teaching assistants in
6H.
We can’t wait to see you all again!
We have missed you all lots.
Which lessons will we be having?
The timetable will include some English and Maths
activities.
Time will be spent creating your important Year 6
ACHIEVE folders.
We will also complete a range of other subjects: science,
geography, music, French and Art.
We will be thinking about your transition to your new
secondary schools and working on some end of year
activities too!
What will playtimes look like?
You will have playtimes in your special bubble.
Lunch will be eaten in the classroom.
The outside space looks a little different as special
zones have been created.
Each bubble will have their own equipment to play
with.
You can play with the children in your bubble whilst
follow social distancing.
For example, you could make up a dance routine with
your friends, play shoot the basket ball but you couldn’t
play the game ‘it’.
Most importantly, you will still be able to have FUN!
The outside space
has been sectioned into
special zones for each
bubble to play safely.
As public parks are still
closed, we will not be
using the adventure
playground.
Each bubble will
have access to
equipment, such as
footballs, basketballs,
skipping ropes, etc.
Hygiene is very important!!
You will wash your hands on entry to the school
and at frequent intervals throughout the day.
We will remind you to do so!
Each classroom will be cleaned at regular intervals
with surfaces being wiped down.
There will be a special bin for used tissues to be
put in.
You do not need to wear a face mask to school.
When will I go to the toilet?
Each class will have special slots during the day
to go to the toilets.
Only two children per time.
Of course, if you need to go outside the slots,
you will be able to –we will need to remember to
following the social distancing markers throughout
the school.
What time will the school day
finish?
In Year 6, the school day will finish at 3:10pm.
You will leave through the usual Year 6 doors.
As the older children in the school, it is your
responsibility to socially distance if you are
walking home by yourself, although we do
encourage a parent to collect you.
