Here you will find the Long-Term Plan for Year 6 for 2023-24.  This gives a broad overview of the themes and topics covered in year and relate back to the National Curriculum.

*NEW* PE Procedures

Please bring PE kits to school at the beginning of each term.  Children will get changed into PE kits during the school day.  This is now recommended practice from the national PE Association. Our school PE kit is: 

• Red t-shirt 
• Black shorts
• Black pumps/ or trainers (No logos or branding)
• Children may bring black tracksuit bottoms for outdoor sports in the winter.

Uniform does not need to be expensive - for example, from ASDA you can get 2 t-shirts, 2 pairs of shorts and pumps for under £10. 

Children should not be wearing branded clothing.  The only item of clothing with a logo is our school sweatshirt, which is available from Mary Frances in Longridge - please see the Office for more details.

Please also ensure that children with pierced ears can either remove earrings themselves or cover with plasters before the start of the school day.

• A written acknowledgement should look like this:

Page 81 - 99 . If I were the character I would have attacked the evil prince instead of running away like James did because it made James look weak and might make the evil prince more likely to attack him. 

Page 81 - 99. What I learned from this part of the text is that shark have two sets of teeth. They can have up to 15 rows of teeth! That would take a lot of brushing.
