Hello! We are Mrs Hanton and Mr Coates and we’re so excited to be a part of your Year 6 journey this year. We have lots of brilliant learning ahead and we can’t wait to see how much you grow in confidence and independence. One of the topics Mr Coates is eager to teach this year is our fascinating history unit on World War Two—a chance to explore stories of courage, resilience, and change. Mrs Hanton is looking forward to diving further into maths and teaching long division. It might look a bit scary at first, but trust me, it’s like solving a puzzle – once it clicks, it’s actually fun! As we begin this journey, our main expectation is simple: give your best effort and enjoy every moment of your last year at primary school. It’s a special time and we want you to make the most of it.

Advice from Mr Coates: if you work hard and embrace every opportunity in Year 6, you’ll feel more confident and relaxed when it’s time to start secondary school. Let’s make this year one to remember!

Advice from Mrs Hanton: never be afraid to ask questions. Curiosity is powerful, and every question you ask helps you (and others) learn something new.
