Welcome to year 6!
This year, our Year 6 classes are taught by Mrs Wood and Miss Burton.
This school year will be full of new challenges and themes to support our learning! As a team, we will work hard to ready ourselves to tackle our end of KS2 SATS assessment, whilst also having fun, making our final year at Thorn a great one! To help everyone to adjust and to settle in to the new class, please take note of the following information about our weekly routine.
PE
Our PE day is Thursday. It is very important that children are equipped with their kit for all of their PE lessons and that those who wear earrings can either take them out or cover them up with protective tape.
Reading
We love reading together and rewarding independent reading! Children are expected to bring their free reader and their reading record to school everyday. This will help them to gain the organisation skills which they will need in the very near future when they transition to high school. All children have been organised into an author team group and their reading diaries will be monitored once every week (a sticker on the front of their reading diary will remind them which is their day to be checked). If staff can see that children are reading regularly and are signing their book, showing what page they are up to, then they will achieve a team point for their whole school author group. At the end of the term, the author group with the most tokens wins a prize!
Homework club:
Our homework club will be on Mondays, straight after school. In the Autumn term, our homework will be fun activities that are linked to each terms theme work. From Spring, children will utilise the 'SATS Companion' online learning platform in the lead up to our summer assessments. .
Our Learning:
Our First theme this year is 'Brilliant Britain'. Watch this space to see what we get up to!
Autumn Term: Brilliant Britain!
Visit to our local cenotaph
At the end of our World War 1 unit, we visited Bacup cenotaph. We discussed why this was in Bacup and the meaning of the memorial.
Spring Term: Wonderful World!
Summer Term: Secret Garden!
