Hill 6

Welcome to Hill 6!

We are delighted to welcome you and your child to Hill 6 for their final year at Spring Hill. Miss Atiq and Ms Rigby are looking forward to supporting the children through this important stage of their journey, helping them to build knowledge, skills, and memories that will prepare them for the next chapter of their education.

This page will provide updates and information about life in Hill 6, including key learning areas and upcoming events. We value working in partnership with families to ensure that every child enjoys a successful, fulfilling and memorable final year at Spring Hill.

Our Classroom Tribe

This year, we are excited to introduce tribal names into our classroom. Together, the children took part in a democratic process to vote for a logo created by one of their peers, and as a class we chose our own tribal name and motto.

We are proud to be known as the Summit Seekers, with the inspiring motto: “Our legacy is learning, our crown is character.”

Our classroom tribe is more than just a name and logo – it is about the values we share. Tribal classrooms are built on leadership, unity, teamwork, equality, fairness, trust and strong relationships. Within the Summit Seekers tribe, every child feels valued and has an important role to play, with the teacher acting as the tribe leader. We see ourselves as one big family, where everyone feels comfortable and confident to flourish during their time at school.

By creating a strong sense of belonging, we are tapping into children’s natural instincts to be part of a group where they matter. This not only supports their wellbeing, but also encourages them to take risks, explore and learn.

As Summit Seekers, our tribe will be a place where children feel empowered, supported and inspired – together, we climb higher.

Homework

In Hill 6, homework is an important way for children to practise and build on what they are learning in school. We really value your support in helping to make this a positive and rewarding experience for your child.

Each week, the children will be given 10 spellings to learn. A spelling sheet for the half term will be sent home and is also attached below, so you can see what’s coming up in advance.

Homework will also be set weekly on Emile, our online learning platform. The children have been sent home with their own login details, which they will need to access their tasks. Emile homework will link to their spellings, times tables, and the Maths topic we are covering that week. Please do take the time to sit with your child and discuss their homework with them, as this makes a big difference to their learning.

Children will also bring home Talk Homework each week.To help children develop their “sticky knowledge”, they will also bring home 3–5 key facts each week to share and talk about with you. Discussing these together really helps them to remember and apply what they’ve learned in class.

Finally, the children will take part in our weekly Map Quest challenge in class. The next stage can always be found on the school website for the to have a look at, they should continue practicing their current stage at home to help them move to the next stage. This activity is designed to make geography fun while building the children’s knowledge of places and locations.

Thank you for encouraging and supporting your child with their homework — working together makes a real difference.
