We know that education is the most effective when there is a positive partnership between home and school. In Year 6 – Steel and Iron: - Children are encouraged to read at home every night. - This reading may be texts (both fiction and non-fiction) and/or newspapers. - We ask that adults at home question them about their reading to check understanding on at least three occasions weekly and support children with the development of their vocabulary. - Spelling and maths activities will be set every week. Parents can request a hard copy of this learning from the child’s class teacher. - We ask that parents/carers encourage their children to work as independently as possible on the activities provided. Useful equipment to have at home: - Pens - Pencils - Ruler - Colouring Pencils - Dictionary - Thesaurus We are happy to help if you are struggling to use a device or learning platform. Please ask your class teacher as your first point of contact. ### Our Curriculum - [Curriculum Overview](https://hillsborough.school/our-curriculum/curriculum-overview) - [Our Classes](https://hillsborough.school/our-classes) - [Early Years – Huntsman and Ingot](https://hillsborough.school/our-classes/early-years-huntsman-and-ingot) - [Year 1 & 2 – Firth, Brearley and Cutler](https://hillsborough.school/our-classes/year-1-2-firth-brearley-and-cutler) - [Year 3 – Furnace and Boulsover](https://hillsborough.school/our-classes/year-3-furnace-and-boulsover) - [Year 4 – Kelham and Crucible](https://hillsborough.school/our-classes/year-4-kelham-and-crucible) - [Year 5 – Millstone and Foundry](https://hillsborough.school/our-classes/year-5-millstone-and-foundry) - [Year 6 – Steel and Iron](https://hillsborough.school/our-classes/year-6-steel-and-iron) - [Powerful Moments](https://hillsborough.school/powerful-moments) - [Curriculum Detail](https://hillsborough.school/our-curriculum/curriculum-detail) ![Hillsborough Nursery & Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/hillsborough-primary-school/images/logo/Hillsborough_Dual-2x.png) ### Hillsborough Nursery & Primary School Parkside Road Sheffield S6 2AA 0114 234 7898 ### Helpful Links - [Contact Us](https://hillsborough.school/contact) - [Policies](https://hillsborough.school/this-is-us/important-information/policies) - [Vacancies](https://hillsborough.school/join-us/job-vacancies) - [Accessibility](https://hillsborough.school/accessibility-statement) - [Cookies](https://hillsborough.school/cookie-policy) - [INOVA](https://www.inovamat.org/) ### Portals - [ParentPay](https://hillsborough.school/parents/parentpay) - [SeeSaw](https://hillsborough.school/parents/seesaw) ### Social Media - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/hillsboroughprisch/) ### Translation © Copyright 2025–2026 Hillsborough Nursery & Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://hillsborough.school/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
