Willow Class
Teacher: Miss Rich
PE days: Friday and Wednesday
Welcome to Year 6!
It has been lovely welcoming everyone back and getting started with our new year together. We have already settled quickly into life in Year 6 and I am really looking forward to everything we have ahead of us this year.
Year 6 will certainly be a busy one! There will be lots of hard work and new challenges along the way, but also plenty of exciting opportunities, new responsibilities and hopefully lots of fun too. As the oldest children in the school, we will be encouraging the children to become increasingly independent and to be fantastic role models to the younger children around school.
Most of all, I want the children to enjoy their final year of primary school, feel proud of what they achieve and make lots of great memories together.
Our Learning This Half Term
We have lots to look forward to this half term! In English, we will be exploring The Highwayman and developing our writing through our work on biographies. In Science, we will be investigating Light and Reflection, while our History learning will take us back to the Victorian era and explore how life and society changed during this fascinating period. In Art, we will be discovering the work of William Morris, exploring his distinctive patterns and designs and creating artwork inspired by his style.
PE
Our PE sessions take place on Wednesdays and Fridays. This half term, we will be developing our skills through Fitness and Tag Rugby.
Children should come to school wearing the correct PE uniform on these days. Please also ensure that earrings can be removed independently for PE sessions.
Homework
Homework is given out each Friday and should be completed and returned to school by the following Wednesday.
If you have any questions or there is anything you would like to discuss, please do get in touch. I am always happy to help and look forward to working together throughout the year.
