Welcome to the Year 6 class page.
Our teacher is Mrs Smith.
Our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Westmore (Mon, Tues & Fri).
Welcome back to the new school year.
During our English this term, we will base our reading and writing around several class novels and film clips. We start with 'A series of unfortunate events' by Lemony Snicket; followed by 'The Arrival' by Shaun Tan and then 'War Horse' by Michael Morpurgo before half term. After half term, we will be using 'Wonder' by R. J. Palacio. Please feel free to bring your own copy of the books if you would like to (but don't rush to read them ahead of time).
Maths will be building on previous learning, including the four areas of computation, algebra, geometry and measure.
Our History topic is Victorians and the British Empire. We will hopefully have a Victorian day planned in before half term. Geography will study the different climate zones found on our planet. Art will be inspired by pop artists, particularly Andy Warhol. DT will introduce our Enterprise scheme, concluding with the children selling the products they have made. French will cover phonics and school vocabulary. Science units start with classification and then continues with evolution and inheritance. The RE topic is based around the rituals many religions have for celebrating birth, life and death. Music will use our English skills to create lyrics that deliver a message. Computing will look at how we communicate and move on to how to use spreadsheets.
