Class Information
Year 6 Class Teacher (and KS2 Lead): Mr Millbank
Year 6 Higher Level Class Teaching Assistant: Mrs Martin
Welcome to Redwood Class (Year 6)
I know most of you know me (if not all of you) but I’m Mr Millbank and I am your teacher. You are also very lucky to have Mrs Martin as your teaching assistant. I’m really excited to have all of you in my class!
You will see that within your end-of-year school report pack I will include a topic web for you so that you know some of what we will be learning about in each subject. I will also include information about your homework linked to our topics.
The main thing for me to do is to ensure that learning in class is fun and enjoyable and ask you all, that you try your best in everything that you do!
Lastly, we ensure to follow the national curriculum for the primary curriculum in England for programmes of study and attainment targets for KS2.
We look forward to welcoming you into Redwood Class!
