Welcome to Year 6!

Teacher - Mr Jenner - djenner@stannes.wirral.sch.uk

TA - Miss J Stock

The children in Year 6 class have a great curiosity and a readiness to learn.

They are always kind, always ready and always safe.

We are excited for all of our topics this year and we feel very lucky to be able to share their final year here at St Anne’s Primary with them.

**English** - Aut 2 - We will be exploring the book Can we save the Tiger? Using this text we will investigate the problems tiger’s face in the outside world and how this impacts their critically endangered status.
We will then choose a critically endangered animal of our choice, research and then write a hybrid information text about this animal.

Spelling - Aut 2 - Spellings will be issued weekly, based on patterns the children have learned on the Monday. These need to be practised throughout the week.

There are also additonal spelling patterns I would like the children to revise if possible, these are found here:
