Welcome to Year 6.
We are Oak class!
The adult in Oak class are Miss Ahmed and Mrs Ali (on Thursday morning).
What will be learning about in Summer 1?
This half term, our school value is Resilience. We will be thinking about how we can show this value in class and whole school collective worship and our daily interactions.
In English, we are studying the life of the Bronte sisters to help us write a recount of their lives. We will also be revising our grammar and reading skills ahead of the KS2 SATs.
In Maths, we are going to be learning about Shape, Position and Direction, and Statistics. We will also be revising our arithmetic skills and Fractions, Decimals and Percentages ahead of the KS2 SATs.
We are starting the half term with our DT days where we will be designing and making our own electric buggies.
In Geography, we will be doing a local study of the River Aire and of land use around it. We will be conducting field work in Saltaire.
In PSHE, we will be thinking about choices we can make to stay safe online and the impact social media can have on our wellbeing. We will then begin to learn about how our bodies change in sex and relationship education.
In RE, we will be thinking about the importance of pilgrimage. We will be researching and comparing pilgrimages that different faiths undertake.
In Science, we will be learning about Light. We will be conducting fair tests to see how the light spectrum works; and making our own periscopes to see how light travels.
Later this term, we will be going on our Year 6 residential to Kingswood. We can’t wait to come out of our comfort zones and showcase our resilience whilst taking part in outdoor adventure activities.
