Hello and welcome to the Year 6 class page! This is where you will find all the information you need to know about what we will be doing in Year 6 this half term.  

Firstly, I would like to start by saying I hope you all had a lovely holiday. I can’t wait to see all the children and find out more about all the exciting things they have been doing. 

To kick of this half term, we will be focusing our English lessons on 'The Hidden Forest' - a story about a boy called Ben who goes looking for his lost fish trap. He thinks he sees something dark moving under the water, but he can’t decide whether it is it a creature or only his imagination? Diving into the sea with his friend Sophie, he is amazed to discover a wonderful hidden world – and the rich variety of creatures that live there. Will Ben and Sophie like what they see? 

In our reading lessons, we will be studying the book, 'There’s a boy in the girls’ bathroom' by Louis Sachar. 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 focusing our learning on place value! Place Value is a great way to start the year – it's not too challenging and once mastered, it is the foundations for most of the maths we do this year. 

In Geography, we will be talking everything ‘Rivers’ - looking at how they are formed and how important they are to our eco-system. We might – weather permitting – get to go out and see our local river. 

In Science, we will be learning about 'Living things and their habitats' and by the end of the half term, the children will understand more about classification of plants and animals.  

Coach Josh will be teaching Invasion Games in PE which will show the children the art of attack and defence - some of the vital attributes needed to be on the winning team! 

Finally, as always, the amazing Mr Martin and 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.
