Year 6

Welcome to our Year 6 class page!

We are hoping you have had a wonderful Easter holiday ahead of a very important half term for Year 6. As well as having lots of fun and exciting learning opportunities, we will also be working incredibly hard in the run-up to SATs week.

Mrs Flint will teach Year 6 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons and Miss Jarman will teach on Wednesday mornings, Thursdays and Fridays. Mrs Radley will be supporting the learning in Year 6 throughout the week.

We are starting this term with a geography unit of work, which will see us focusing on map skills as well as deciphering Ordnance Survey maps of our local area. During this unit, we’ll also explore different times zones and discover that some countries span more than one time zone.

As well as learning about this geographical unit, Year 6 will also continuing to explore the unit, ‘Electricity’ in science. We’ll consider how our understanding of electricity has changed over time. We’ll also compare and give reasons for variations in how components function. We’ll learn to represent simple circuits in a diagram and to use recognised symbols to do it. Making a circuit will be another important aspect of our learning this half term.

Alongside these interesting and engaging units of work, we’ll also be continuing to challenge our musical abilities during our weekly music sessions on Mondays and perfecting our Spanish on Wednesdays.

Some key information:

Music – Monday mornings

P.E. with Mrs Flint – Monday afternoons

P.E.  – Tuesday afternoons

As a whole school, we are promoting pleasure for reading and are encouraging children to read at least 3 times each week and for 20 minutes or more. Reading diaries must be signed and they will be checked in school daily.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Jarman, Mrs Flint and Mrs Radley
