The Summer term in Year 6 

I would like to begin by thanking the children for all their hard work and you, for all your support since September. All the staff are so proud of how hard Year 6 have been working and how they have approached their SATS.

This summer term our topic is themed around the question, ‘Where on Earth are we?’ Within this topic, we will revise our knowledge of countries, continents and oceans using atlases and mapping technology. We will also focus on our local area, learning how to read maps, which we will develop further in our maths lessons, and explore how the area has changed over the years. Within our English lessons, we will continue to explore our theme of mystery and write our own mystery stories. Additionally, preparations for our end of year production will begin this term.

On a practical note the children will have PE on a Wednesday and a Thursday.  Please could you make sure that your child keeps their PE kit in school and that every piece of clothing is clearly labelled with their name. Due to focusing on revision homework tasks last term, the class will be set two creative homework tasks this term, as always your child will have 2 weeks to complete the activities.

Our trip to the Conway Centre is fast approaching. We will leave for the centre on Monday 4th June and return to school on Friday 8th June. Final payments for the trip should be paid through Parent Pay as soon as possible. To ensure that you have all of the necessary information for our visit, I would like to invite you to an information evening on Tuesday 22nd May at 5pm.

Thank you again for your on-going support and together with Mrs McCready I look forward to working with you and your child during their transition to high school.

Mrs Wheeler
