Jesus said, ''I have come in order that you may have life - life in all its fullness.''

John 10:10

 

Hello and welcome as we begin the Autumn term. 

We have an exciting and busy term ahead. Have a look below to see what you have to look forward to.

This year we are going on the Lakeside residential at the end of October which will help us to get to know each other better. It is a hugely rewarding experience and a time when each child can develop their communication, team-building and independence skills.

Class Teacher - Mrs Bouchier (Monday - Wednesday, Friday)

This half term, our Christian 'value' is RESPONSIBILITY.  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.

RESPONSIBILITY

 

 

 

 

 

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people.

Colossians 3:23

Religious Education

Our Religious Education enriches all of our learning. This term, we are looking at the question...

How do we 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.

In our reading lessons this term, we are reading...

When We Were Warriors by Emma Carroll

And in our writing lessons we are basing our learning on...

Star of Fear, Star of Hope by Jo Hoestandt
