Hello everyone!

Welcome to P6/7’s school page. We are so excited to be back and we are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead. Here is what we have planned for Block 1:

• Class Charter:

Our school values are SAFE, READY and RESPECTFUL, so our class charter is linked to them. We have discussed each of these values, what they mean and how we can follow them. We will focus on them throughout the year, particularly when we use our iPads and when using ‘flexible seating’ in our classroom.

• Topic:

Our topic this block is “Conservation”. We will be learning what Conservation is and how we can help with protecting our planet’s natural resources. We will learn about sustainability, animal habitats, pollution and our influence on conservation.

We will have a focus on Expressive Arts this term and we are looking forward to exploring aspects of our topic through this.

• Numeracy & Maths:
• Place value to billions
• Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division (carrying/exchange)
• 2d and 3d shape
• Angles
• Symmetry
• Coordinates
• Literacy:

Our class novel this block is “Haarville” by Justin Davies.
Manx Fearty is an orphan from Haarville (a foggy island town with a magical secret) who is on a bizarre quest with his friends. They embark on a journey to unearth a long-protected magical secret to save the town of Haarville.
We will also have group readers which we will take home each week to read. Please ensure these are always in schoolbags as we need them to facilitate reading groups each day.

We are also very lucky to have a slot in our new and improved school library, where we can read for enjoyment.
In writing we will be creating:

• imaginative stories
• posters
• fact files
• sets of instructions
• a variety of poems

In listening and talking we are focusing on listening skills, presentation skills  and taking part in a big talk about our topic.

• Please see the RSHP website where you can see all the resources that will be used to teach this subject.Second Level – RSHP

• Homework:

Our homework will consist of reading and spelling.

The reading homework will be written into the reading record, children are encouraged to be heard reading at home and their reading record should be signed by a parent/carer before being returned.

Spelling should be practiced in any way that suits the children. They can make it into a game or be creative with it.
This will be sent out on a Friday and should be returned by a Wednesday.
The reading book should be returned to their schoolbag after it has been read as it must be brought into school every day for our reading groups.

 

• P6 Events: More information to come
• Deployment of iPads to support our learning experiences.
• Foodbank – We will be visiting the Foodbank on Wednesday 1^st

Looking forward to a super successful start to our P6 year.
