Autumn Term
Week of 8.09.2025
Parent Information Evening ppt
Here they are, our new Year 6s!
What a busy first full week we have had - it's been straight down to work! In Maths, we have concentrated on place value: reading, writing, ordering and comparing numbers to 10,000,000. We have also been rounding numbers; all of this has been building on the Maths that we have learned in previous years and the numbers have become bigger in Year 6. We are looking forward to negative numbers and Roman numerals next week.
History has been the name of the game this week, looking at punishments from Roman times through to The Anglo-Saxons, TheTudors and The Victorians. What a crazy time it was, particularly bad if you were a woman and poor!! We have also started to look at The Battle of Marathon, a very famous battle because of the legacies we still have: outflanking as a military strategy and the 26 mile marathon race.
In Science, we have started to look at the heart and its function. We now know the 4 chambers of the heart: 2 atria and 2 ventricles as well as knowing about the blood being pumped through the right side of the heart before it goes to the lungs to collect oxygen, then back through the left side of the heart before being pumped through the aorta and all around the body.
We also enjoyed the Attendance Fiesta on Wednesday and in spite of the weather (although not as bad as forecast!), we all had a fabulous time.
Have a great weekend and see you again next week.

Week of 1.09.2025
Well here we are, a new school year and a new Year 6 crew! Our first week is done and we have all settled in so very well. We've spent the week getting to know each other, setting rules and expectations, finding out what's ahead and having some fun! Many of the children have put themselves forward for the many jobs available to them in Y6 - it has been great to see such enthusiasm and dedication.
Following on from our Transition Day, we completed some lovely art that will be our first Year 6 displays - watch out for those next week.
We have also talked about our new topic: Conflict, Crime and Punishment and the children have generated lots of questions which will fuel our curiosity as we work through the term. We also have a Connections Display with all of these questions and we will build connections in our learning, as we go.
We have all come back to school with a positive mindset, ready to unlock new learning, keep practising and not giving up.
Well done everyone for a fabulous first week, have a super weekend and see you all next week.
