P6 Miss Hanna

Welcome to Primary 6!

A little bit about our wonderful class:

We have 18 children in Primary 6 this year.  (7 girls and 11 boys).

Our teacher is Miss Hanna and our classroom assistant is Mrs Small.

This year, we will concentrate on our independent learning skills and building our academic confidence. There will be lots of new information and lots of hard work throughout the year. We know we must work hard in Primary 6, but we also know having fun along the way is important!

This year, the whole school will continue to focus on Health and Wellbeing, and we will study topics such as settling in, resilience, mindfulness, friendship, managing our feelings, kindness, conflict resolution, and transitioning.  

Below are some key days to remember when packing your school bag and getting prepared for school:

  • Monday: Homework will be issued, PE Day
  • Tuesday: Swimming day for term 1
  • Wednesday
  • Thursday:
  • Friday: Spelling test, number check up and mixed mental maths quiz will take place (make sure you've done lots of practice through the week).

Children should wear FULL school uniform. This includes a yellow polo shirt, blue jumper with school crest, plain BLACK shoes or plain BLACK trainers and grey smart trousers, skirt or pinafore. Jogging bottoms and leggings are not permitted on these days.

On PE days, children may wear PLAIN black or grey leggings or jogging bottoms. No detailing should be visible. Patterned leggings are NOT appropriate school uniform.

As primary 6 is an important year in key stage 2, children will receive 4 pieces of written homework a week, alongside their daily spelling, reading and mental maths. Homework will be sent home every Monday. If possible, written homework should be returned the next day so that it can be marked in school.

Monday - Friday : Children need a HEALTHY snack each day (Bread based snack, fruit, veg or a yoghurt) and hot dinners must be booked before midnight the previous day using the school money system.

Don’t forget your water bottle. Water / Sugar free still flavoured water only in water bottles during class time and fruit juice (not fizzy) can be brought with you for lunch time.

We adhere to a healthy schools policy in Saint Joseph's. Please be mindful of this when packing lunch boxes.
