We would like your work returned daily to:

Spring One Learning Challenge

This half term the Year 6 Learning Challenge will be called Electric Storm and will focus on learning in Science, Geography and Technology. Below is the Knowledge organiser which provides the key learning and the key skills. 

The Year 6 LM team are ...

Mr Moran is the class-teacher

(contact email  lee.moran@st-pauls.stockport.sch.uk )

Miss Cocks is our teaching assistant

Mrs Warboys will provide P.P.A cover

Mr Stevenson will support us in our outdoor P.E learning

 Mrs Parker and Mr Watson are the Intervention teachers, 

supporting us in our Maths and reading.

Autumn learning in Year 6

We have a lot to enjoy learning about in Year 6. In Maths we will be

focusing initially on Place Value and the Four Operations. We will be part of

a new online maths programme every Wednesday which will help us catch up with any learning we have missed. Mrs Parker and Mr Watson will teach small groups to help us gain more confidence and feel more secure in our maths work.

In reading we will use a variety of texts to help us develop our understanding

of a range of genres, language style and organisational features.

What we read will also influence our written work, such as

William Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' when we will learn to write our own play- scripts in the style of Shakespeare. Writing opportunities will also be

linked with our Tudor topic when we learn to write letters 

to be sent home from the battle of Bosworth.

Mrs Warboys will also teach some lessons on Tuesday and Wednesdays 

and these might include any of the following; Maths, Reading,

Grammar, R.E, French, Music, Science or Topic. More information about

the topic, including the Knowledge Organiser for the Troublesome

Tudor history work can be found below.

We are all pleased that Mr Stevenson will continue to teach outdoor

P.E and sports on a Thursday. Weekly spellings / timetables and

homework will continue to be provided to reinforce learning and

provide an opportunity to share with adults at home what they have

learnt and now know. Any homework can be sent electronically or

if you need to contact me for any reason please use my email

      Our Year 6 classroom

We are very fortunate in Year 6 to have the biggest and brightest classroom

in school. Some of us last year worked hard in the same classroom when a

part of the mixed age class. Having an outside door will mean we can stay

within our own bubble more easily! We can arrive and leave through the door

every school day. I'm sure we will benefit from the many positive features

that our room and it's contents have to offer.

Topic

Our first Topic of the year is THE TROUBLESOME TUDORS. Have a look at the Knowledge Organiser for this exciting historical period of our British history. We will be studying the Tudors across the Autumn term and will be fortunate to visit Bramhall Hall in November to see such a grand Tudor building. We're looking forward to teaching you about such a colourful period in our history.
