Mrs Waite
Year 6 Teacher - 6EW
Within my career, I have taught across a range of different age groups and settings, which have all provided me with wonderful memories- each of which, highlight the many reasons as to why I love being a teacher. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and travelling.

Mrs Allen

I have been working at Webheath since 2002, and during this time I have worked in most year groups. I find it very rewarding being able to help and support the children with their learning. Out of school I love spending time with my family and friends.

Reading
In KS2 we use the Accelerated Reader Computer Program to develop, manage and monitor children’s reading skills. The children pick a book within their own ZPD range and read it at their own pace. We allocate at least 15 minutes a day to reading their book. When finished, they will take a short quiz online in school – this helps to home in on their reading skills and give an indication that they understood what has been read. AR gives both children and teachers feedback on the children’s understanding and reading habits which the teacher then uses to help the children set targets and ongoing reading practice to ensure personal growth.
Daily ‘Book Club’ is also timetabled. This provides opportunities for the children to work in small groups with an adult to develop reading skills and build a love of reading, and it gives an opportunity to read books of choice for pleasure.
We use high quality text to deliver our English Curriculum and focused reading lessons are taught within a sequence of learning.
In Year 6 we hand out homework on a Friday, to be handed in by Thursday the following week.
PE is on a Thursday and Friday
Please support your child at home by supporting their Maths with Times Table Rock Stars and their English through daily reading, spelling and using Writers Toolbox for English. (Children’s log-in details are in the planners, which are required in school, daily.)
In Year 6 we have the very important job of preparing the children for their Year 6 SATs tests in Reading, Maths and SPAG. We develop children’s writing skills by focusing on different genres of text stimulus with different writing outcomes such as; Diaries, narratives and persuasive arguments. We look at World War 2 in depth as a stimulus for English, History, PE and Music and in science we learn all about Evolution and inheritance and Electrical circuits.
