Week commencing 5th September

Posted: Sep 4, 2022 by: Year 6 (Year 6) on: Year 6 Class Blog

Good morning to all the children and grown-ups of Year 6!

I hope you have all had a lovely, restful summer and that you are all as excited as I am to start your journey here in Year 6. 

Here is this week's timetable: Week 1 timetable.docx

Our topic this half term will be 'Kon Tiki'.Throughout this topic, we will be designing, making and testing our own raft, similar to that used in the Kon-Tiki expedition, using numerous different hand tools and materials throughout. In Geography, we will be identifying how maps can differ, and we will begin to use lines of longitude and latitude to locate and identify places on Earth. 

In Literacy, we will be looking at narrative writing using the story Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. We will be using the same text throughout our Comprehension lessons this half term. 

We will begin our brand new Science topic 'Titanic' where we will be using our working scientifically skills to explore some of the scientific concepts behind the Titanic. 

In Numeracy, we will be beginning our Place Value topic before moving onto the four operations. 

Thursday is both our PE and Forest School day, therefore children must come in the suitable uniform on this day. 

If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to email me on Y6@olsj.org.uk and I will respond as soon as I can.

Let's have a great first week together in Year 6!
