Year 6
Welcome to the Year 6 page
Class 7 is taught by Mr. Wilson and Class 8 is taught by Mrs. Foley. We are lucky to be supported by Miss Walton and Miss Coleman, who work as TAs in both classes. In addition, Miss Walton also teaches on several afternoons.
On a Thursday afternoon, Miss Farr teaches PE to both classes and Mrs. Mason, our music specialist, teaches music. We have an additional PE lesson on a Monday afternoon.
This term, our geography topic focuses on deserts and what it is like to live in a desert. We have started by learning about different biomes around the world and understanding specifically what a desert biome is like. We will learn about the physical and human features of deserts and will find out about these in the context of the Mojave Desert. At the end of our unit we will write persuasive letters to convince a family to move to the desert.
This half term we are still reading class novel – Wild Boy. The book is set in Victorian London, and tells the tale of a boy covered in hair, raised as a “monster”, condemned to life in a travelling “freak show”. It is certainly sparking a lot of discussion already!
