Hello and welcome to the Year 6 class page! We hope you had a lovely half term break!

To kick of this half term, we will be focussing our learning on 'Paradise Sands' - an enchanting tale of haunting places and mystical bargains, as a young girl makes a deal with the mysterious ruler. Is this a deal she will regret?

In our reading lessons, we will be studying the book, 'Who Let the Gods Out' by Maz Evans. Throughout this story, the children will be challenged on their vocabulary, they will summarise and predict from what they have read and they will answer SATs style questions to improve their understanding.  

In Maths, we are focussing our learning on long division! Long division can be complicated to understand (even for most adults)! However, by the end of the half term, our Year 6 children will be professionals, therefore, if you ask nicely, they may even teach you all at home!

In History, we will be exploring the story of the Trojan Horse' - analysing all the evidence to answer the question: Is the story of the Trojan Horse a fact or simply a Greek myth?

In Science, we will be focussing our learning on 'Animals including human’. By the end of the half term, the children will understand more about the circulatory system and how to live an active, healthy lifestyle.

In PE, Coach Josh will be teaching Gymnastics, which will show the children the art of agility, balance and strength. This will link nicely with the work we do in Science.

Finally, as always, the amazing Mrs Higson will be in school to sing with us every Friday. 

With an exciting half term ahead, please come and visit this page to see our learning journey.
