Welcome to the Year 6 Puffin Class page.

Welcome back after the October half-term! This term we will be covering topics in class such as ‘Electricity’ in Science and Vikings in History. In Maths we are following the White Rose scheme and will be covering fractions and converting measure. In R.E we are looking at the 'Kingdom of God' and in Computing we are using our Micro:bits. We will be writing information texts about the Vikings in English as well as linking to Remembrance and writing WW1 inspired poetry. In Music we will be exploring the song 'Happy' with Charanga we in D.T we will be applying our electricity knowledge from Science to create controllable cars in D.T. We are looking forward to the trip to Canterbury Cathedral this term and even have some children who have written and will be leading a service!

This term P.E will be on a Monday (handball) and on a Friday (gymnastics with Venture Sports). We will aim to be outside for handball and we are hoping that House Captains begin to run inter-house competitions throughout the year.. watch this space!

Homework will be set on a Friday and the deadline for handing it in will be on a Tuesday. Please don't wait until the Friday to hand homework in as it doesn't give me enough time to mark and hand back!

Spellings will be tested most weeks on a Friday. Look under the spelling section for the words and remember to use the Spelling Shed resource for game help.
