Year 6
Hello!
Welcome to Term 1
'Abracadabra'
This term’s learning will be based on our class book ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’. We will use it to inspire our learning across lessons.
In science and DT, we will explore light and how it can be used to create a shadow puppet. We will be exploring OS maps of our local area in geography, focusing specifically on the River Dour.
Some of our WoW moments:
22/9/25 - Why Money Matters workshop - a financial learning project based on the non-fiction book written by Deborah Meaden.
12/9/25 - Barton Inflatable Day
8/10/25 - STEM workshop with scientist Charlotte Maughan, exploring light.
14/10/25 - Tennis at Connaught Park
16/10/25 - Restart a Heart Workshop
16/10/25 and 17/10/25 - river dipping in the River Dour
Our P.E. day this term is Monday and this term we will be focusing on tennis. Please make sure you have the correct P.E. clothes (blue/black shorts or tracksuit bottoms and a white polo) with you and trainers and make sure your earrings are out ready for the lesson. Just a reminder, earrings and a watch are the only items of jewellery that the children should be wearing to school
