Welcome to the Koalas Class!
Year 6 is an exciting year and one where every opportunity should be embraced. Some of the highlights include an adventure-packed week at Okehampton, dressing up as an evacuee from World War II, constructing a motorised vehicle and performing in the end of year production.

Home Learning at Brookside Academy
Reading
- Children use Bedrock Learning as a key part of their home learning.
- Bedrock Learning is linked closely to the curriculum and supports the development of vocabulary, comprehension and background knowledge through topics connected to classroom learning.
- Alongside Bedrock Learning, children are encouraged to read physical books regularly for pleasure.
Spelling
- Children use Emile to practise and revisit the spelling rules currently being taught in class. The focus is on understanding and applying spelling patterns independently across a wide range of writing.
Mathematics
- Children are encouraged to regularly use Times Tables Rock Stars to develop fluency, confidence and automatic recall of multiplication facts.
- Short, frequent practice sessions are the most effective way to build strong mathematical foundations.
