Welcome to Class 6D!

​

Welcome to a new academic year and your final year in our school. We are looking forward to a fun, hard-working and productive year of learning.

​

This year, we have some excellent topics to cover. In Science, we will be starting with ‘Evolution and Inheritance’. Our first historical period will be World War 1 which links beautifully to our future learning: a local history study. In English, we will be studying the famous poem ‘The Highwayman’ by Alfred Noyes. Our class reader will be ‘War Horse’ by Michael Morpurgo. Later in the year, we will be reading excellent stories by Louis Sachar (Holes), David Almond (Skellig) as well as many more! Maths will start with place value and move into the four operations including long multiplication and division. Later in Autumn term, we will come onto Mr. T’s favourite: fractions.

PE is timetabled for a Tuesday afternoon and our first modules are Tag Rugby and Invasion Games.

​

We have some amazing school trips planned including: Beamish Museum, local history walks, Geography fieldwork and a trip to a local place of worship. As you’re in year 6, you will also have the chance to take part in a residential in Autumn term.

​

The staff in year 6 are: Mr. Turnbull, Mrs Bowie, Mrs Carlile and Mrs Blacklock. Please feel free to contact us about any issues. We thank you in advance for your support.
