Spiritus Ad Surgere - Let Our Spirits Soar High

Year 6 - Gecko Class

Welcome to Gecko Class!

 Our teacher is Mrs. Webb; our T.A is Mrs. Dwyer.

                                                     

We are now half way through the school year! Year 6 have just completed a history enquiry, asking the question, 'What does the census tell us about our local area?' in which we learnt what a census is and how the information gathered in a census is used to inform local councils, government and historians. We were very interested to find out about some local history in this unit too. 

Term 4

This term we are moving back to a Geography topic, asking the question, 'What are mountains so important?' in which we will learn about a biome that covers one-fifth of the world's surface. We will comprehend key concepts of physical geography such as plate tectonics and the formation of different rock types.

For our class reading lessons this term we will continue to read "The Girl Who Speaks Bear" by Sophie Anderson, the compelling story of a young girl who one days discovers she has the legs of a bear. The children are very gripped by this text so far and are developing their inference skills alongside other skills required in Key Stage 2. Following this text, we will study some non-fiction texts about Mount Everest before beginning "The Wiward of Oz" by Frank L. Baum.                                                     

P.E this term will be on a Monday (Team Building games). Please send kit in a bag and remember trainers!

Forest School is different this term. We will have a three week block, beginning on Tuesday 20th February. Please ensure suitable clothing is brought in, bearing in mind the weather is cooler now and the area can be extremely muddy. 

Please ask me at 3:15pm on any day, if you have any questions or queries and keep an eye on the Class Dojo as announcements are often made on there.
