Welcome Dolphins, Sharks, Turtles and Whales

Welcome to your new year group page!  

What an action-packed Autumn first half-term we will have lined up for you; we have many things to look forward to in our upcoming lessons.  In English, we will study and enjoy the novels ‘There’s a Boy in the Girl’s Bathroom’ by Louis Sachar and 'The Unforgotten Coat' by Frank Cottrell Boyce. If you would like to read some alternative texts based around our English units, so to not spoil the fun of finding out about the characters and plots within the classroom, you could read: ‘Holes’, ‘Small Steps’, ‘Fuzzy Mud’ by Louis Sachar or ‘Cosmic’, ‘Framed’ or ‘Desirable’ by Frank Cottrell Boyce.  In Mathematics, we will consolidate our knowledge and understanding of mathematics and apply our mathematical skills to investigations.  In science, we will study ‘Electricity’ and ‘Light’ and for our history and geography learning, we will be learning about WW2 in the creative curriculum topic, ‘To Final Victory’.  

We hope that you have a wonderful summer holiday.  Do not forget to complete the holiday homework we gave you (a copy of this can be seen below).

It would be really helpful if you continued to practise your mental mathematics skills and daily reading in addition to completing the holiday homework.  There are some really useful websites for you to do this on the 'useful links' page on the 'Year Group Pages' section of the website.

We are very much looking forward to our first half-term together in Year 6!

Best wishes,

Miss Costa, Miss Brown, Mrs McCarthy, Miss Treanor, Miss Groves and Miss Shaw.
