The staff working in class this year will be Mr Hind, Mrs Egan-Sheath (PM only) and Mr Barrans (Wednesday afternoons).

This term, we will be focusing on life in the Stone Age. The topic provides opportunities for a host of activities across the curriculum which we’ll be looking to take advantage of. For example, our work in computing will link, where the children will be aiming to create their own brochure advertising a Stone Age cave.

We're going on our first trip in Year 6, where we will catch the train from Brockholes to Leeds. We'll then be walking the short distance to Leeds Discovery Centre to learn all about the Stone Age! This is scheduled for Thursday 24^th October.  

In literacy, we’ll be beginning the year by starting our class reader, ‘Wolf Brother’, before producing a piece of writing on Pandora, using short clips from the film ‘Avatar’. This allows the children to get used to the expectations we set in Year 6.

In maths, we’ll be focusing on place value problems which will set us up nicely to revisit the four contracted written methods, solving a variety of calculation problems before getting stuck into fractions. This will all be supported with regular work on the children’s mental strategies and times tables.

Year 6 PE will be on a Tuesday morning and Friday afternoon.
