Year 6

Welcome to Year 6!

Sadly, with the rise in COVID-19 cases, we once again need to move to home learning. Please see the links below that will take you to our planned activities each week.

We will be posting video tutorials to help aid the children in their learning to the best of our ability. We know this no way replaces face to face learning. Please contact us via our Dojo page if you are having any difficulties, or alternatively ring the school office. 

The year 6 team.

Welcome to our class page!

We are all set for an exciting first term! This term we will be learning all about the Victorian era. We will find out what life was like for both rich and poor. We will be reading the fabulous story- Street Child, and learn all about Dr Barnardo and the charity he started. Mrs Crowe will also be looking at famous Victorian artists with you, including William Morris and L. S. Lowry. 

With Mrs Hayes, in Science, we will be creating sparks with electricity and light. We will also be creating some energetic dance and gymnastic routines in PE this term. 

Please download our "knowledge organisers" and brush up on some of the key facts that we will be learning about.
