The Year 6 team for 2020- 2021 

Mrs Phillips (Class Teacher)

Mr Evans (Class Teacher)

There are many activities on this page to keep the pupils busy and to develop their learning over the time the school is closed. There are also instructional videos and an instructional sheet to help your child complete planned learning sessions. Whenever appropriate to the task, pupils are encouraged to interpret homework challenges creatively- displaying an original, imaginative approach to the task.  Whilst we acknowledge that this may not always be possible (maybe because of access to technology) we hope that this will be possible for the majority of pupils who find themselves in this situation. 

Your teachers will share work and assignments with you through 'Teams' on Office 365 and J2e. Pupils can access learning during their time in school as well as at home. 

• Remember to check the 'Assignment’ folder regularly;
• Upload your work with the class teacher;
• Check your teachers feedback.

These activities can be accessed by pupils with laptops, i-pads, Play Stations and mobile devices etc through their HWB accounts.

Theme of Study for Spring 2021:  Frozen Kingdom 

Welcome to the planet’s coldest lands, which are incredibly beautiful, yet often deadly. This half term, we’ll start by making and observing icebergs. We’ll then find out more about them using non-fiction books. We’ll learn technical vocabulary so we can write reports in the role of engineers. Using globes and maps, we’ll identify the polar regions, comparing the Arctic and Antarctic. We’ll also think about how we can protect the polar environment. Then, we’ll investigate the tragic story of the RMS Titanic, and find out about the people on board. We’ll download images of polar features and save our information in digital folders. When we’re more familiar with the polar regions, we’ll write exciting stories, poems and diary entries from the perspective of brave explorers. Researching our favourite polar animals will be fun, and we’ll create animal artwork inspired by the Inuit people.
