Year 6 - Nightingale Class

Welcome to Nightingale Class

 Class Teacher: Mrs Cole

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Sobhani

 

Welcome back to Term 5

I hope you have all had a wonderful break and are ready to take on the new term. 

This term is a short but busy one. We have a visit from Barton Manor to support our upcoming secondary transitions, an additional drama transition workshop, as well as a Universal worries workshop and some sporting activities. We have the Key Stage 2 SATs the week beginning 12th May and will start working on our production shortly afterwards.

We are learning about circulation and health in Science and will be exploring the heart and circulatory system through models and inquiries and considering how lifestyle choices affect our health.

Our English will focus on narrative writing around an animation. We will have the opportunity to implement many of the skills learnt around sentence structure and punctuation. We will be writing setting and character descriptions, in addition to using dialogue to move the story on.

We continue reading The Girl Who Speaks Bear, where we will find out if Yanka - the main character - remains a bear.

Reading

       

Please continue to encourage your child to read every day at home! Reading helps to improve writing and all areas of academic work. Please listen to your children read whenever possible, question them on the story or characters to ensure true understanding of the text.

 

Forest School

Forest School continues to be on a Monday. As there are only three Mondays this term, we will use a carousel of activities. Each child will have one Forest School session, as well as team-building and problem-solving activities. Your child will need to come into school wearing their school uniform with a suitable change of clothes and footwear in a bag that you are happy to get dirty and wet. Wellies or walking boots are required to be in school every day, so everyone can access the field daily, even if it is a little damp.

​​

P.E -

This term P.E has changed to a Thursday afternoon and we will be outside. Please send in P.E kit and trainers to change into for the lesson.  For health and safety purposes, earrings must be removed and long hair tied back for all P.E sessions.

Reminders will be sent about Forest School and P.E on Class Dojo, as well as information shared about the learning. Any queries or questions please message me using Class Dojo.
