Christian Value
This half term, our Christian 'value' is FRIENDSHIP. We will be adding to our Values tab as we explore how that looks in our school and how we can live it out in our lives, as Jesus taught us to.
Nothing should be done because of pride or thinking about yourself. Think of other people as more important than yourself.
Philippians 2:3

Religious Education
Our Religious Education enriches all of our learning. This term, we are looking at the question...
What can be done to reduce racism? Can religion help?
Keep a lookout for the work and reflections we will be creating during this unit this term.
Homework in Year 6
Homework will be set every week on a Monday.
Children will be expected to complete their reading, weekly spellings and times tables activities. This will support their progress throughout the year in literacy and numeracy.
In addition to this, children will have homework which is linked to our History and Geography learning.
Children will be able to earn points for each activity they complete, working towards a target and earning a prize when their target is reached.
WE LOVE TO READ!
Children will have their own reading books to take home. We look forward to seeing your progress and adding to our reading jar...when and what will be our first class reward?
Children in Year 6 enjoy focussed reading sessions every day, where you can develop your reading and comprehension skills.
We have a well-resourced school library where the children are allowed to select a book.
There is also a reading corner in the classroom with designated slots where the children can enjoy a quiet read.
We will be reading a class book - This term, we are reading...
When we were Warriors by Emma Carroll
A body washed up on the beach...
Evacuation to an old house with forbidden rooms and dark secrets...
An animal rescue service...
