Christian Value

Our focus for this half term is FRIENDSHIP. We will be adding to our Values tab how we are exploring 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 RE enriches all of our learning. This term, we are looking at the question...

WHAT CAN WE DO TO REDUCE RACISM?

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.

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 current Learning Challenge. 

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 Cracking Comprehension sessions 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 when the children can enjoy a quiet read.

We will be reading a class book - This term, we are reading... The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne.

 Bruno's father is a commandant in World War II and the family moves house to Out-With so that he can work closer to concentration camps under the Fury's orders. After staying there for some time, Bruno makes friends with a Jewish boy named Shmuel on the other side of the fence.

We shall read on to find out how their friendship develops and the consequences as a result...
