Welcome to the Whales class.
Hello and welcome to Dolphins and Whales classes- Year 6! This page will give you all the information you need about what is happening in our class, such as PE days, homework, trips, events and the areas that we will be learning about. We look forward to building on all of your brilliant learning as we move into term 6!
SATs
Firstly, we would like to congratulate all of the year 6 children for completing and taking part with SATs last term, showing great determination and positive mindsets throughout. Thank you also to all of the parents for your support with these.
Dates
We have a very busy but exciting term ahead of many trips, school visits, transition days, camping and many activities taking place. We have an online safety chat taking place on the 3rd June. We are also planning on camping again this on Thursday 20th June- more details will be sent out for this nearer the time.
We have a John Spendluffe transition day where the staff will be coming into school to delivery an information chat to all of the pupils on Thursday 27th June. Finally, on Wednesday 10th July we are planning on going to the Eureka science centre for our main end of year trip. We will be carrying out some fundraising activities for this trip and details will be sent out to you very soon!
Leavers assembly will be on Wednesday 24th July for all of our Year 6 children and parents.
Term 6 Learning
In history, we will be continuing with our term 5 topic learning all about the fascinating people of Ancient Maya, and comparing their society and achievements with those of the Vikings. Our geography lessons will continue to link to this as we investigate how the Mayan people used farming and trade to help them survive and thrive in such a difficult natural environment. Our English leaning will focus on fantasy as we study the book ‘MIddleworld’, the first part of the ‘Jaguar Stones’ series.
In science and PSHE, we will be learning all about how humans grow, change and reproduce. Please see our overview document for more details about what we will be learning in all of our curriculum subjects. PE will continue to take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this term. Please come to school in your PE kit and leave earrings at home on both of those days.
Homework will continue to be set on MyMaths and TTRS. Please keep reading every day (we have lots of books in the classroom for you to take home!) and earning lots of coins on TT rock stars – we would love to see more of you ‘go green’! If you need reminders of any of your login details, please speak to your child’s class teachers.
