Well Year 6 of 2020, unfortunately it is a time to bid you farewell and wish each and every one of you good luck in your next step as you now move on to Secondary School. It certainly has been an eventful year but the Year 6 Team all wanted to leave a message for you and wish you well on your journey.

• 

We know it might seem a little nerve wracking entering Key Stage 2 and Year 3, especially after lock down and not being in school for sometime. It is completely normal to feel a little worried! But we hope that by seeing who we are and hearing about us in this blog puts your mind at rest a little. We think that you’ll love being in Year 3 and we will have fun learning together?

First of all we would like to say well done to each and everyone one of you for adapting to learning at home. This year has been a little different for everybody but you all now deserve to enjoy the summer. We can’t wait to meet all of you in September and get to know all of your individual personalities. All of the staff are working hard to make sure that when you return it is as safe and ‘normal’ as possible. This is not the usual way in which we would like to meet you however we hope that you enjoy reading about your new teacher next year.

Enjoy your Summer!

When you start in Year 1, school might be a little bit different to how you remember it, however we will still be able to do lots of exciting activities, build lots of friendships and learn many new skills.

So you know a little bit more about me before you start, I’d like to tell you a few things about myself.

I have lived in Coventry most of my life, only leaving to study at Cardiff University. I have 1 child who has just turned 1, her name is Eliza and she is very mischievous. I enjoy listening to music and am currently trying to learn to play piano, not very successfully though. I enjoy going on long walks with my family and visiting my mum and dad who moved to Wales a few years ago.

I came to Coundon Primary School when I was your age and some of the teaching assistants and teachers that work here now were my teachers too.

Sometimes I can find my work a little bit tricky or I might be a little bit tired or nervous, and that is okay, but I learnt a super skill that I hope we can all work on together throughout the year which helps me a lot. This special skill is called ‘Resilience’. Now I know that is a really long word that you might be unsure of, all it means is ‘I will keep trying and trying until I achieve my goal.’ Hopefully we will all be resilient, confident and happy learners together this year.

This year, your teaching assistant will be Mrs Wilson and she has sent me a special message to share with you:

Welcome all to Year 6. I know this must be quite a nervous time of year as you have probably just found out who will be your new class teacher from September. There will be some changes in Year 6 and you will also notice that there are new teachers and teaching assistants too! So I guess we are all feeling slightly nervous but extremely excited too. Below you will find some information on the Year 6 staff and if you have any questions please send us an email (see below). More importantly, make sure you all have a WONDERFUL summer break and we cannot wait to see you in September. Take care and see you soon.

Mr Bramhill

My name is Mr Bramhill and I’m going to be joining you in September. I’m so excited to start teaching you! From talking to Miss Perrett and Mr Mahal, I can already see what an amazing year we are going to have together. I imagine it’s probably going to feel quite strange for you, not having met me yet, but don’t worry- I feel a bit nervous too. This is perfectly normal. I’ll tell you a little bit about myself so that you have some idea of who I am and what I enjoy doing.

I’ve been teaching for quite a long time now and teaching Year 6 is definitely my favourite year group. Everyone will have grown up over the summer and be ready to take on the responsibilities of being the top of the school. I have high expectations of your behaviour and work, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have fun. I believe that the key to success in Year 6 is a combination of hard work and lots of fun.

In my spare time, I really enjoy exercising, biking, skateboarding, football, going to the gym and reading. I also enjoy playing the piano when I’m not too busy with school work

As well as teaching you in Year 6, I’m going to be the Y5/6 Phase Leader and the Assistant Head Teacher for Key Stage 2, helping Mrs Maude and Mr Scott. I’m looking forward to my new role and will make sure that we have the best time possible.

I hope that you have all had an amazing break from school and are feeling really excited to come back in September. Although I’m feeling nervous, I know that we’re going to have an incredible year together as you start your final year at Coundon Primary.

I can’t wait to meet you all!

Mr Mahal

Mrs Howat

I have worked in Year 6 with Mr Mahal for 2 years.  I have three grown up sons, no pets but looking to get a dog anytime soon.  I love listening to music and singing although, I’ve been told by my children I’m not very tuneful.  I like to bake and love to eat what I have made. My favourite treat is dark chocolate and I love the colour green.  My book recommendation would be Esio Trot by Roald Dahl.
