Welcome to year 6

Mr Foster

Welcome to the Year 6 Class Page!

Our class teacher is Mr Foster and our teaching assistants are Miss Thwaites and Miss Higgs.

We are currently working at home using the remote learning set by Mr Foster through Seesaw. Please remember that I know that everyone's situation at home is different and these are difficult times. I know that the work I set may seem like too much to complete for some children and I want you to know that your best is good enough. If you cannot complete all of the remote learning tasks, PLEASE don't worry - just do your best and look after yourself. I am always here if you need me and so are the rest of the OLSS team.

If you would like to keep up to date with life in school, you can follow our socials by searching for Our Lady and St. Swithin’s Catholic Primary School on Facebook and Twitter. You can also find important updates on the school 'COVID' page.

I will see you all back in class soon 

To support home learning, we can utilise various online and offline platforms. I will set assignments and activities via Seesaw, Reading Plus, IXL, Pixl and CGP books.
