Welcome to Year 6!

Welcome to Kingfisher Class. We are a class of Year 6 children who are taught by Mrs Broxholme and are helped by Mrs. Oxley and Miss. Ferguson. This page is where you can find important information, as well as updates of the fun things we are getting up to in class.

We are part of UKS2  and therefore learn closely with the rest of Year 5 and 6 in Kestrel and Fox Class. PE is on Monday and Tuesday. Please come to school wearing your PE kit on these days.

Homework will be given out on Fridays. Children are expected to read at least 4 times per week at home and to record this on their reading bookmark.

If you need to contact me directly, please use the contact form below or contact me directly on ClassDojo. 

Class Information 

Autumn 1 highlights
We all went to the International Bomber Command centre in Lincoln, where we learnt about the sacrifices and commitment of the men and women who came together in WWII. Some children across year 5 and 6 took part in various sporting events such as the football tournament at Caistor and the Gainsborough schools cross country event.
