Welcome to Year Six! We are so excited to welcome you all back!

We hope you all enjoyed your Summer, enjoying time with families relaxing and feel refreshed and ready for the year ahead. 

We have a really lovely half term ahead of us full of interesting and engaging learning, keep an eye out for further updates and pictures!

It really is a pleasure to be teaching your children for a second year in a row and as always if you have any questions or concerns please do come and speak to one of the Year Six team or ring the office so we can help to sort things out quickly. 

• In RE, we will be exploring Creation and Covenant. We will learn about the Creation stories in Genesis and explore what they teach Christians about God, humanity and our responsibility to care for the world. We will also explore the idea of covenant as a special promise between God and his people, reflecting on faith, choices and our relationship with God.
• In English, we will be creating our own narratives based on a lighthouse keeper that faces a life changing challenge! We will then write our own diary entries from the point of view of a WW2 evacuee. 
• In Guided Reading, we will be exploring the book 'Letter from the Lighthouse' a brilliant read linked to our History topic!
• In Maths, we will be looking at place value and the four operations.
• We will be learning all about World War 2 in History - this topic is such an interesting one and is linked to most of our learning this Autumn.
• In Science, we will be learning all about Animals and living things. 
• PE will be on a Wednesday and Friday. Please can all children be dressed appropriately for both.  Dark tracksuit bottoms / shorts (dark blue, black or grey), white t-shirt and trainers. 
• Homework will be sent home on a Thursday with an expectation of it being returned on Tuesday morning. It will be related to current learning in class. 
• Spellings will be tested every Friday. 
• Reading Books: once these are sent home please ensure they are returned each day. Children will be listened to throughout the week.
