Welcome back Hazel class!

This half term we will centre our learning around our history key question of ‘How was the war fought in places other than the battlefield?’ as we explore events during WW2 using primary and secondary sources to support our learning.  In Science, we will investigate electricity, learning what circuit symbols represent, and discovering how voltage affects the brightness of bulbs and the volume of buzzers.

 We have lots of exciting experiences planned, including a WW2 Wow Day and a visit from Winston Churchill himself! In Writing, our theme of Bandits, Outlaws and Pirates will inspire creative non-chronological reports, followed by letter writing based on the traditional tale of Hansel and Gretel.

 In computing, we will be exploring the features of a website as well as making our own. In RE, we will be exploring why Christians believe Jesus was the Messiah. We will be discussing how Christmas links to this, including the events leading up to this in the Bible, and will be reflecting on how Christmas is celebrated in society today. In Art, we will compare the work of artists Frederick T.W. Cook and Henry Moore before producing silhouette paintings inspired by the Blitz.

 In maths, we will be focusing on fractions — learning how to add and subtract them with confidence and applying this knowledge to solve multi-step problems. PE will focus on gymnastics — mastering balances, rolls, and jumps to create our own routines. Year 6 will also be swimming at Polkyth the week commencing Monday 9th November.

 Hazel 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.
