Welcome to Year 6.

We are Oak class!

The adult in Oak class are Miss Ahmed (and Mrs Ali on Friday morning).

What will we be learning about in Autumn 1?

This half term, our school value is Love. We will be thinking about how we can show this value in class and whole school collective worship and our daily interactions. We will also this about how we can show love through being inclusive. 

In English, we will start the term with our Grammarsaurus unit and then we will  be  studying Malala's Magic Pencil. We will be finding out what life was like for young girls in Pakistan and how Malala changed the world. Our end point will be a narrative about how we can change the world and have a positive impact.

In Maths, we are learning number up to 10,000,000 in our Place Value topic and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide these numbers. 

We are starting the half term with Art Days in which we will be studying Portraits, in particular how to show realism in self-portraits..

In Geography, we will be thinking about the impact human actions have on the world by learning about global warming as well as the different biomes present in the world today.

In PSHE, we will be thinking about choice we can make to stay safe and healthy as we grow older. We will also be looking at our British Values and how we can put these into practice.

In RE, we will be thinking about whether Science and Religion can compliment one another and linking this to our Science work. In Science, we will be learning about evolution, then creating a David Attenborough -style mini documentary. 

We will also be getting ready for a number of exciting events including our first class collective worship, an Anne Frank workshop and a visit to St George's Hall for the Swing Low, Big Sing!
