Welcome to Year 6.
Our main emphasis for this term is on consolidating our basic skills in English and maths. But this will be interspersed with a fascinating history unit on crime and punishment which follows this theme through different periods in time, some of which the children have studied in other ways. This will be followed by a geography unit on land and industry use in the UK.
Our Science focus for spring 1 completes electricity, before commencing a human biology unit about the circulatory system. We will then follow this in spring 2, with a physics based unit on light
Our PE timetable will continue to take place on a Wednesday and Thursday. As we are fortunate enough to have a timetabled hall slot on both days, we should be completing most PE indoors for the first half term. However, when we return for spring 2, the Thursday sessions will generally be outdoors.
In line with the rest of the school the children will continue to wear PE kit to school on these day. PE sessions this term will cover skills from handball, rounders, dance and gymnastics.
We are looking forward to continuing to work with you and your children.
