Welcome

Welcome to Class 6
 
Year 6 is taught by Mrs Fox with Mrs Pipe and Miss Strout.

 The Year 6 children have settled into the new school year fantastically.  They have been enjoying learning a new range of topics, including evolution and inheritance in Science and Guided Reading; the effects of climate change in Geography; whether science and religion is conflicting or complementary in Religious Education and World Views and relationships in PSHE.  In English, the children have most recently been creating persuasive speeches to encourage others to protect endangered species including tigers, orangutans and blue whales. To do this, the children researched the animals and used a range of persuasive features such as rhetorical questions, modal verbs and expanded noun phrases.  The children were very passionate about this topic and have created some fantastic writing!
Swimming for PE
 
The Year 6 children have been enjoying a block of swimming for the PE this half term.  Every day for two weeks, the children have walked from school to the leisure centre and had an hour long swimming lesson. Everyone has made fantastic progress and has increased in confidence.
At the end of the two week block, the children will be assessed on their new swimming ability and will get to enjoy a 'free swim' session using some of the float toys and sink toys at the centre!  A well-deserved session for all!
