A very warm welcome from the Year 6 team
Class Teacher: Mrs Theresa McDonagh
and Mrs Efstratiou
Mrs McDonagh is the Year 6 class teacher and is supported by Mrs Efstratiou, our Higher Level Teaching Assistant, who will also be teaching the children at times on Thursdays and Fridays.
On Fridays, while Mrs McDonagh is taking part in leadership time, the class will be taught by other members of staff for subjects such as art, PE and reading: this approach not only allows the children to benefit from a range of teaching expertise, but also helps them begin preparing for the transition to secondary school, where they will experience learning with a variety of teachers and subjects. We are incredibly lucky to benefit from all our specialist teachers.
Year 6 is a particularly exciting year for our children as they begin to look ahead to the next stage of their learning journey. Throughout the year, they will have the chance to visit secondary schools, giving them a real sense of the opportunities and experiences to come. They will also take part in Bikeability, developing important cycling skills and road safety awareness. One of the highlights of the year is the much-anticipated residential trip to North Devon, where the children enjoy new adventures, build independence, and create lasting memories with their friends.
