Year 6 2018 - 2019
Miss Blake
Welcome back to your first term as Year 6.
As most of you will already know, my name is Miss Blake and I'm the Year 6 teacher for this year. I will be supported throughout the year by Miss Evans, Miss Stanley and Mrs Edwards - our fantastic Teaching Assistants!
Afternoon Sessions:
PE lessons will be taught on a Wednesday afternoon by Miss Preugschat - so remember those PE kits. Over the term, you will be looking at tag rugby, hockey, gymnastics and dodgeball. You will also continue to have the chance to participate in competitions.
Mrs Edwards will teach you on a Monday afternoon and also for an hour on a Friday afternoon - when she will cover subjects such as Music, French, RE and Science initially. During the other hour on a Friday afternoon, you will also have Miss Mathison (our new Year 5 Teacher) who will be delivering P4C (Philosophy 4 Children).
During our topic lessons, we will focus on The Anglo-Saxons versus The Vikings, who both battled for control of Britain. In Geography we will look at maps of how Britain was divided up into separate kingdoms and will locate modern UK cities and counties. We will also look at maps of where the Vikings explored and name the main oceans and continents. Within History we will study Britain during the times of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings.
Homework, Spellings and Reading
Like last year, there will be two pieces of homework a week. Our Numeracy and Learning Log homework will be given out on a Friday and will be due in on a Wednesday. Occasionally, I may give out a piece of homework that lasts for a longer period, such as a mini-project. Spelling lists will also be sent home on a Friday and are to be learnt for the following Thursday. It is important that you take the time to learn the spellings as it will impact on your English work. As always, reading is the cornerstone of all learning, so we recommend that you read at home as much as possible and aim to change your book regularly.
So, let’s get ready for a fantastic year ahead!
This is your first term as the oldest children in the school so let’s show everyone how fantastic we are and be fantastic DREAM TEAM role models!
