Welcome to Year 6

Mr Spinks – Class Teacher

Mrs Wiles - Teaching Tuesday afternoon

Mrs Joul - Teaching Thursday afternoon

We are pleased to tell you that we have once again arranged our very popular annual Year 6 trip to Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills for the class to enrich their History learning about life in Leeds during the industrial revolution. We will be looking at the life of working children during this time, which will contribute significantly to Year 6 writing work.

The date of the trip will be Thursday, 27th February leaving at 9:15 am. We will be back by 3.00pm. School are contributing to this trip in an effort to keep costs for families as low as possible, but we must ask for contributions to cover both the coach travel and the workshops at the museum. Therefore, we are asking for £10 per child, payable on Arbor.

Please note that whilst this is a voluntary contribution, the cost of the trip has been worked out with every child paying the full amount. Unfortunately, if there are insufficient funds to pay for the trip then we may not be able to go ahead with this visit. Please see Mr Spinks or staff in the school office if you are having difficulty making the payment.

The required consent is on Arbor, please give this when you make the payment. No child will be able to attend the trip without permission. Please also check your emergency contacts are correct on Arbor as this will be the method we use if required. If you have trouble making payment, visit the Arbor Help Pages for guidance on how to use the App/Online Portal and add no-reply@mail.arbor-education.com to your email contacts for uninterrupted communication. If you need a paper copy, please let us know.

Excitingly, pupils will be treated as Victorian children for the day, so need to dress appropriately. It’s certainly an immersive and eye-opening experience!

• Boys will need to wear grey/black trousers and a white shirt. Trousers should be tucked into their socks. They will be given a waistcoat and are able to wear a flat cap if they want to.
• Girls can wear the same as the boys, or can wear a long dark skirt and white blouse. Alternatively, a dark jumper with leggings could be worn and they will be given a smock.

Preferably, no logos please, let’s be as authentic as possible! Shoes would be preferable to trainers if possible.

All children will need a re-fillable water bottle and a packed lunch. If your child has school meals, we can order a packed lunch for you. Note: this will be payable, as usual, unless your child is entitled to free school meals. Please confirm if you would want this by Thursday, 13th February.

If you have any queries please see Mr Spinks.

Thank you for your support,

Mr. Spinks and the staff in Year 6

 PE days will be Wednesdays and Thursdays this year, starting immediately. 

Kind regards,
