Welcome to Year 6 Hazel Class

This half term we will centre our learning around our history key question of ‘What sort of place was Benin 1,000 years ago and how do we know?’ as we explore events during this time using primary and secondary sources to support our learning. In science, we are exploring how light helps us to see. These lessons include many opportunities for practical investigations such as using torches to test the opacity of a range of materials and investigating how our faces are reflected in mirrors. 

We have lots of exciting experiences planned, including designing and making our own pop-up books in our design and technology unit. This half term, our writing lessons will focus on developing our grammar and punctuation skills. This will help prepare pupils when they begin their writing units and innovate a range of fictional and non-fiction texts. In computing, we will be exploring the software Tinkercad to create 3D models.

In maths, we will begin with place value before moving on to the four operations, including how to solve multi-step word problems. Our P.E. lessons this half term focus on developing our skills in netball, including footwork, attacking and defending.

Ash class has P.E. on Tuesday and Wednesday each week; please ensure that your child's kit is in school each day.

Thank you for your continued support.
