A huge welcome back to new Year 6 children! A whole different level of responsibility within the primary school! We have such an interesting year ahead planned with so many events! Yes, we also have SATs but we do approach this in a very caring and fun way! The children have Mrs Bedi teaching Maths, English, Reading and spellings in the morning and Miss Edmunds teaching the rest of the curriculum in the afternoons. The children also have Pacesetters delivering high quality PE lessons once a week and also Mrs Farmah teaching music once a week too. Mrs Howlett and Mrs Holten are the wonderful support staff in the Year 6 classroom and it is true that they really do a bit of everything!
We have started the year learning about the Ancient Greeks and have already started the children’s art and DT work by making 3D clay vases! The children are thoroughly enjoying it!
In English we are starting with recounts and reports about the Ancient Greek and will eventually move into Myth and Legends. We are reading ‘Mark of the Cyclops’ at the moment and will then move onto ‘Who let the Gods out?’
In maths, we are really focussing on getting the building blocks of place value sorted before we move onto calculations and how we solve problems with them!
I am sure we will have a wonderful term and I will be in touch shortly to discuss the Year 6 residential!
