Year 6
Mr Austin & Miss Chiles (6A), Mr Sperring and Mrs Angell (6AS) and Mr Pausey (6P)
What an important, flourishing and fun year - Year 6 is! It is very busy and action packed but also very rewarding and developmental.
As a year group, we have exciting topics, trips and lessons planned and look forward to the learning journey we have in store.
As a school and year group, we continue to be independent learners and use our growth mindset every day to learn from mistakes, this is particularly important in Year 6 especially in our preparation for secondary school. We set an example to the rest of the school and have increased responsibilities. We look forward to seeing what the year has to offer and we want to make the most of the opportunities in our last year of primary school.
Please contact any of us on year6@gmglt.co.uk if you need to ask us any questions or discuss anything with us.
