Welcome to Year 6 Orange Base
Miss Bushell, Mr Cousins and Mr Fox are excited to welcome you to Year 6 in Orange Base!
This is our class page, where you can find all the important information you’ll need
throughout the year.
Our school day begins at 8:40am, with doors open until 8:50. The school day finishes at
3:20pm.
In Orange Base, our PE days are Monday (outdoor) and Wednesday (indoor). Children
should come to school in their PE kit on these days. This should include: trainers, black
shorts or bottoms, a white t-shirt, and a black zip-up jacket. Please ensure that earrings are
removed before PE or that your child can remove them independently.
Homework
● Reading: Children should read daily for 10–15 minutes, aiming for at least 5 times a
week. Children can choose to read a book from the classroom, library or home.
● Spellings: Weekly spellings will be sent home along with a spelling plan each half
term. Children should also practise key words from the Key Stage 2 spelling lists,
which will be provided as needed.
● Maths: The focus will be on fluency. Children should practise times tables and
number facts using their Times Table Rock Stars account.
We will also provide knowledge organisers and set a half-termly homework project linked to
the topic being studied in class.
Our topic for half term one is the Victorians.
We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead, full of engaging and enjoyable learning
opportunities!
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the school office via
email, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
